Zanthoxylum Bungeanum Fruit Extract

Product Description

Our standardized Zanthoxylum Bungeanum Fruit Extract is derived from authenticated Sichuan pepper fruit under GMP-aligned processing with batch COA traceability, supplying formulators direct factory pricing and flexible kilogram-to-tonne bulk volumes.

Hydroxy-α-sanshool and related amide markers—quantified by HPLC—activate TRPV-linked microcirculatory pathways, modulate inflammatory signaling, and enhance co-active penetration, while fruit polyphenols deliver antioxidant and antimicrobial support in scalp, body, and treatment serums.

Unlike piperine-dominant black pepper actives, this CosIng-listed fruit extract suits TCM-inspired scalp invigorating, slimming massage, and delivery-boosting lines where formulators want sanshool-specific warming without synthetic sensitizer load.

Key Benefits & Applications

This fruit extract supports antimicrobial, microcirculatory, and delivery-boosting claims through sanshool-rich Zanthoxylum bungeanum suited to scalp, body, and active-serum formulators.

• Anti-Bacterial Activity: Sanshool and fruit volatile fractions help support antimicrobial action in scalp cleansers and blemish-prone wash-off systems.
• Antioxidant Protection: Fruit polyphenols scavenge reactive oxygen species in daytime antioxidant scalp and body care formulas.
• Microcirculation Support: Warming amides promote massage-driven microcirculation in slimming body wraps and contouring massage creams.
• Penetration Enhancement: Sanshool helps increase co-active uptake by modulating TRPV-linked barrier interactions in treatment serums.
• Scalp Follicular Stimulation: Invigorates follicular environments in hair growth tonics and pre-shampoo scalp treatments.
• Anti-Inflammatory Modulation: Calms irritated scalp and reactive skin in sensitive daily-care shampoos and calming toners.

Formulation Guidelines

Introduce standardized Zanthoxylum fruit extract in hydroalcoholic or oil phases; screen sensory tolerance and limit facial leave-on levels before scale-up.

• • Suggested use level: 0.1–0.5% w/w in facial serums; 0.5–2% in scalp and body products (Typical).
  • Processing: Pre-dissolve in ethanol, propylene glycol, or carrier oils before adding to emulsions at 30–40°C.
  • pH window: Maintain 4.5–7.0; sanshool stability best in mildly acidic to neutral systems (Typical).
  • Compatibility: Pairs with ginger and rosemary extracts; avoid stacking multiple TRPV activators at high combined levels.
  • Sensory note: Imparts numbing or warming sensation; patch-test leave-on formulas and cap total sensitizer load.
  • Synergy: Pair Drynaria Fortunei Root Extract at 1–3% with Zanthoxylum fruit in TCM hair-revival leave-on scalp serums.
