Cucumis Sativus fruit for cosmetic applications.
Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract, commonly known as Cucumber Extract, is a versatile botanical active. While the market features various branded supplier SKUs and general ingredient names like cucumber fruit or powder, Formulate Labs provides the pure INCI ingredient in a standardized carrier system.
Dual mechanism: Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract supports skin health through distinct pathways. Its rich profile of ascorbic acid, caffeic acid, silica, and quercetin provides antioxidant protection and helps inhibit tyrosinase for skin brightening. Polysaccharides and phytosterols contribute to barrier support by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), while the natural enzyme erepsin gently stimulates cellular turnover for renewal without harsh irritation.
Use levels: For topical applications, our Standard or Concentrated hydroglycerin stock of Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract is typically recommended at 0.5% to 5.0% of the final formulation [11, 12].
Market context: Formulate Labs provides the purified INCI active, Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract, in a standardized carrier, differentiating it from branded supplier SKUs. The market features various competing botanical extracts. For instance, Croda's Cosme-Phytami™ Cucumber targets deep hydration; Greentech's PHYTELENE EG 108 BG Cucumber emphasizes soothing and astringent properties; and Lipoid Kosmetik's Cucumber Herbasol Extract focuses on hydration for sensitive skin and anti-inflammatory concepts [17, 18].

This section summarizes key peer-reviewed studies supporting Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract's efficacy and safety in cosmetic applications, including its effects on enzyme inhibition, antioxidant capacity, and overall safety assessment by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel. 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 demonstrates the extract's significant inhibitory effects on hyaluronidase and elastase. This enzymatic inhibition helps protect the skin's structural components, supporting skin elasticity and firmness for an anti-wrinkle effect.
This paper confirms the extract's antioxidant and soothing capacities, which are attributed to its rich profile of phytochemicals and flavonoids. These properties make it suitable for calming sensitive or irritated skin and defending against oxidative stress.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed the safety of Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract in cosmetic use. The panel concluded that the ingredient is a non-sensitizing skin-conditioning agent and is safe for use in cosmetic formulations.

Bulk composition at the selected Cucumis Sativus 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-CUS-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.
