Phellodendron Amurense Extract

Product Description

Our Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract is high-purity botanical material from direct factory supply, extracted from authenticated Phellodendron amurense bark with batch COA traceability for blemish-care and soothing formulators.

Standardized berberine, palmatine, and isoquinoline alkaloids inhibit blemish-associated bacteria, modulate sebum output, and calm NF-κB-linked inflammation in aqueous systems without synthetic antimicrobial load.

CosIng-listed Amur cork tree bark meets TCM-inspired anti-acne demand in urban-defense care, offering dual-alkaloid depth beyond generic bark powders or isolated berberine salts.

Key Benefits & Applications

Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract delivers berberine-palmatine alkaloids for formulators building anti-acne, soothing, and urban-defense skincare systems.

• Berberine inhibits blemish-associated bacteria including C. acnes in gel cleansers and oil-control toners.
• Alkaloid profile modulates NF-κB-linked inflammatory mediators in reactive-skin and post-blemish recovery serums.
• Berberine helps modulate sebum output in mattifying serums and blemish-prone daily care at 0.5–2%.
• Palmatine and berberine scavenge ROS and limit oxidative stress in antioxidant day care formulas.
• Protects keratinocytes from PM-induced inflammatory triggers in urban-exposed skin defense systems.

Formulation Guidelines

Use at 0.5–2% w/w in water-based blemish-care and soothing systems; maintain pH 4.5–6.5 and add below 40°C to preserve berberine markers.

• Recommended use level: 0.5–2% in cleansers, toners, serums, and calming creams.
• Optimal formula pH: 4.5–6.5 to stabilize berberine and palmatine alkaloids.
• Add during cool-down below 40°C after emulsification to limit heat degradation.
• Compatible with niacinamide and panthenol in aqueous anti-blemish bases.
• Pre-dissolve in ethanol or glycols for improved aqueous dispersion.
• Synergy: Salicylic Acid complements berberine bark for dual-pathway blemish care in oil-clearing gel cleansers.
