Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Fruit Extract

Product Description

Our high-purity Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract is standardized from Ribes nigrum L. fruit via controlled glycerin-water maceration at direct factory facilities, with batch COA traceability and typical anthocyanin profiling available on request.

Delphinidin and cyanidin anthocyanins, vitamin C, and fruit acids scavenge ROS, gently renew surface cells, modulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, and deliver CosIng-listed astringent and emollient conditioning in aqueous cosmetic systems.

Unlike isolated synthetic AHAs or single anthocyanin isolates, this traceable blackcurrant matrix suits glow-boosting peel masks, antioxidant day serums, and pore-refining toners where formulators need CAS-listed fruit actives with consistent B2B bulk supply.

Key Benefits & Applications

This blackcurrant fruit extract delivers anthocyanin-driven antioxidant, gentle exfoliation, and radiance benefits for glow and pore-refining care lines.

• Anthocyanin and polyphenol ROS scavenging supports antioxidant day serums and facial mists at 1–5% w/w.
• Delphinidin-rich photo-defense aids UV-exposed daytime emulsions and environmental-shield lotions.
• Fruit-acid gentle surface renewal in radiance-boosting peel masks and weekly exfoliating treatments at 2–5%.
• Astringent pore-tightening support in oily-skin mattifying toners and clarifying essences.
• Anthocyanin anti-inflammatory calming suits redness-prone soothing essences and sensitive-skin mists.
• Dead-cell removal and instant luminosity in glow-boosting treatment serums and brightening emulsions.

Formulation Guidelines

Apply standard fruit-extract handling to preserve anthocyanin stability in water-based cosmetic systems.

• Suggested use level: 1–5% w/w in serums, toners, masks, and emulsions.
• Add during cool-down below 35°C to preserve anthocyanin color and activity (Typical).
• Pre-disperse in glycerin; maintain acidic pH to stabilize anthocyanin pigments.
• Maintain formula pH 3.5–5.5; avoid strong oxidizers and high-alkaline systems above pH 6.
• Perform compatibility testing with high-load metal ions and strong chelators above 3% load.
• Synergy: Layer Hyaluronic Acid beneath anthocyanin-rich blackcurrant actives for stacked humectant and glow support in water-based serums.
