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 5% 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].
Pricing context: While highly purified peptide/protein suspensions of cucumber lack extensive public B2B pricing data, standard hydroglycerin botanical liquid extracts typically range from $2.15 to $15.00 per kilogram depending on volume, extraction, and supplier [14, 15, 16]. Formulate Labs offers our Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract suspension at $48.75 for a 500g sample, $75.00 for 1kg, and $1083.75 for a 17kg pail (equating to $63.75/kg).

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.
