Terminalia Chebula Extract

Product Description

Our high-purity Terminalia Chebula Extract is produced via standardized aqueous extraction of haritaki fruit, with batch COA and lot traceability from direct factory supply for cosmetic formulators seeking consistent Ayurvedic botanical actives.

Rich in chebulinic acid, gallic acid, and ellagic acid markers, this CosIng-listed extract supports antioxidant defense, tyrosinase pathway modulation, and astringent pore-refining activity through tannin-rich polyphenol chemistry.

Unlike unstructured fruit decoctions, our defined-assay Terminalia chebula extract delivers reproducible tannin markers and stable shelf performance for brightening serums, clarifying toners, and tone-evening cream bases at 1–4% w/w.

Key Benefits & Applications

Terminalia chebula extract delivers tannin-driven antioxidant brightening and clarifying care in leave-on formulas for formulators targeting uneven tone and visible pores.

• Chebulinic and gallic acids neutralize ROS from UV and pollution in antioxidant serums at 1–3% w/w.
• Tannin-rich markers modulate melanin synthesis pathway in brightening essences and spot-care creams at 2–4%.
• Ellagic acid and polyphenols defend against oxidative stress in daily protective day cream formulas.
• Astringent tannins help refine pore appearance in clarifying toners and balancing lotions at 1–2% w/w.
• Polyphenol actives modulate inflammatory stress pathways in soothing serum and post-sun leave-on applications.
• Botanical tannins support more even-looking skin tone in daily brightening emulsions at 2–3% w/w.

Formulation Guidelines

Add during cool-down below 45°C. Typical use 1–4% w/w in aqueous and emulsion brightening skin care.

• Brightening serums: 2–4% w/w in aqueous bases; pre-dilute liquid grades before cool-down phase.
• Clarifying toners: 1–2% w/w in hydrosol or essence formats; maintain pH within suggested window.
• Suggested pH: 4.0–6.0; avoid high-alkaline systems above pH 7.0 to preserve tannin marker activity.
• Compatible with niacinamide and alpha arbutin; separate from strong chelators that may bind tannin actives.
• Avoid prolonged heating above 60°C; add to water phase after emulsion drops below 45°C.
• Synergy: Combine with Niacinamide for complementary melanin pathway modulation and antioxidant tone-evening in daily serums.
