Terminalia Chebula Fruit Powder

Product Description

Our high-purity Terminalia Chebula Fruit Powder is milled from standardized haritaki fruit with batch COA and lot traceability, supplied direct from factory for cosmetic formulators seeking consistent Ayurvedic botanical actives.

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

Unlike generic fruit flours, our defined-mesh Terminalia chebula powder delivers reproducible tannin assay levels and stable shelf performance for brightening serums, cleansing scrubs, and clarifying mask bases at 0.5–5% w/w.

Key Benefits & Applications

Terminalia chebula fruit powder delivers tannin-driven antioxidant brightening and clarifying care across rinse-off and leave-on formulas for formulators targeting uneven tone and texture.

• 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.
• Fine haritaki powder provides physical resurfacing in wash-off cleansing scrubs at 1–5% w/w.
• Polyphenol actives modulate inflammatory stress pathways in soothing clay mask and post-sun applications.

Formulation Guidelines

Dispense powder into water or oil phase with adequate mixing. Typical use 0.5–5% w/w depending on product format and tannin target level.

• Brightening serums: 2–4% w/w in aqueous bases; pre-hydrate powder to avoid clumping before cool-down.
• Cleansing scrubs: 1–5% w/w as physical exfoliant; combine with mild surfactant systems for rinse-off use.
• Suggested pH: 4.5–6.5; avoid high-alkaline systems above pH 7.5 to preserve tannin activity markers.
• Compatible with niacinamide and alpha arbutin; separate from strong chelators that may bind tannin actives.
• Use dust-control handling; store finished formulas away from excessive moisture to prevent caking or microbial growth.
• Synergy: Combine with Niacinamide for complementary melanin pathway modulation and antioxidant brightening in daily tone-evening serums.
