Tribulus Terrestris Fruit Extract

Product Description

Green Stone Swiss supplies Tribulus Terrestris Fruit Extract via direct factory channels, delivering standardized tribulus fruit actives with batch COA traceability for cosmetic OEM and private-label manufacturers.

Flavonoids and polyphenols from Tribulus terrestris fruit—distinct from higher-saponin root fractions—scavenge ROS and modulate NF-κB-linked inflammatory signaling in aqueous skincare matrices.

Unlike tribulus root concentrates positioned for scalp saponin activity, this fruit extract suits hydrating essences, calming toners, and antioxidant mists where lighter botanical conditioning supports clean-label facial care lines.

Key Benefits & Applications

Tribulus terrestris fruit flavonoids deliver facial-focused antioxidant, hydration, and calming support in leave-on skincare.

• Flavonoid Antioxidant Defense: Polyphenolic constituents neutralize daily oxidative stress in morning antioxidant essences.
• Free Radical Neutralization: Scavenges ROS linked to urban exposure and visible skin fatigue appearance.
• Botanical Hydration Matrix: Fruit oligosaccharides support water-binding in lightweight hydrating toners and gels.
• Anti-Inflammatory Signaling: Modulates cytokine-linked redness appearance in sensitive-skin treatment lines.
• Dermal Comfort Support: Soothes reactive skin appearance in alcohol-free mists and post-exposure calming lotions.

Formulation Guidelines

Standardize flavonoid input by assay; protect markers from prolonged high-heat processing.

• Recommended use level: 1.0–5.0% in leave-on skincare; 3.0–8.0% in rinse-off cleansers
• Optimal formula pH: pH 5.0–6.5 for flavonoid stability in aqueous bases
• Processing: Incorporate below 40°C in water phase; pre-dilute before addition
• Compatibility: Compatible with glycols, HA, and mild preservatives; avoid strong oxidizers
• Caution: May impart light amber hue to clear gels; evaluate packaging transparency
• Synergy: Formulators often co-add Hyaluronic Acid at 0.1–0.3% to tribulus fruit flavonoids in hydrating essence toners.
