Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract
Unlock the natural power of Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract, a multi-functional active rich in bioactive peptides, amino acids, and polyphenols. Offered as a standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock, our pure INCI material delivers scientifically-validated anti-aging and soothing benefits, distinct from branded complexes.
*Adansonia Digitata* (Baobab) fruit, source of our extract.
Botanical identity: Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract is derived from the fruit of the Baobab tree. While commonly known by names like Baobab Fruit Extract or Adansonia digitata fruit powder, Formulate Labs provides the pure INCI: Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract, not proprietary supplier SKUs.
Dual mechanism: *Adansonia Digitata* Fruit Extract acts through modulating key genetic pathways, upregulating miR-146a and the clock gene PER1 to stimulate Collagen-1 synthesis and support nocturnal DNA repair, thereby defending against chronological and photo-aging. Additionally, it offers potent free-radical scavenging capabilities that reinforce the epidermal barrier and measurably soothes skin by mitigating pro-inflammatory pathways like iNOS and suppressing NF-κB, making it suitable for environmentally stressed or sensitive skin.
Use levels: For Formulate Labs' Standard or Concentrated hydroglycerin stock of *Adansonia Digitata* Fruit Extract, typical use levels in final cosmetic formulations range from 0.5% to 5.0%.
Market context: Formulate Labs supplies the pure *Adansonia Digitata* Fruit Extract INCI, differentiating from branded complexes. Competitor positioning includes 'Bao-Active C-class actives' focused on cellular nutrition, emollience, photo-aging, and skin texture; 'Baolift™-class actives' utilizing plant stem-cell technology for a 'Skin-Fascia-Muscle' lifting/firming appearance; and 'Baobab Tein Z NPNF®-class actives' (protein hydrolysates) promoted as 5-in-1 multi-functional ingredients for skin and hair, emphasizing UV stress defense and barrier restoration.
We ship standard or concentrated extract stock with selectable preservation - ready to meter into finished formulas at the use rates in the formulation guide below.*

Our understanding of *Adansonia Digitata* Fruit Extract is built upon rigorous peer-reviewed scientific literature. Research highlights its ability to modulate genetic pathways related to skin aging, provide potent antioxidant defense, and offer significant anti-inflammatory benefits, underscoring its versatility in advanced cosmetic formulations. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.
This study shows the extract supports key anti-aging functions by promoting miR-146a expression in dermal fibroblasts. This activity helps accelerate cellular DNA repair and boosts the synthesis of Collagen-1, contributing to improved skin structure and resilience.
This paper confirms that the baobab fruit's unique profile of phenols and flavonoids is responsible for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These actions are crucial for supporting healthy epidermal regeneration and defending against environmental aggressors.
The research validates the extract's soothing capabilities by demonstrating its ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory pathways through NF-κB suppression. This mechanism makes it a suitable ingredient for cosmetic formulations designed to calm and comfort reactive or stressed skin.

Bulk composition at the selected Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract loading. Base carrier components scale proportionally when preservative is added; extract stays at the selected loading. Updates dynamically when you change base or preservation above. Full CAS disclosure is on the SDS/TDS for the selected variant (FL-ADD-W2-MBS4-5PCT-001).
SDS + TDS are issued per selected recipe. Links swap when you change selections above. A sample COA shows the standard extract QC panel (pH, organoleptic, TAMC/TYMC). Lot-specific COAs ship with every order.
We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected carrier. The botanical carries polar phenolics, flavonoid glycosides, and related extractable fractions. Those markers support antioxidant and skin-conditioning cosmetic stories. This is not a solvent isolate or a standardized marker extract. Lot identity appears on the COA and TDS.
This is a ready-to-use cosmetic extract stock, not a finished consumer product and not a standardized marker isolate. We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected hydroglycerin or oil carrier. Aqueous lots are released on pH, organoleptic, TAMC, and TYMC (total counts only). Oil macerates are released on organoleptic only. A sample COA is on this page; the lot-specific COA ships with the order.
