Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Formulate Labs offers Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, a fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock rich in key actives like carotenoids, vitamins C and E, and flavonoids. This extract, commonly known by its trade names Sea Buckthorn or Seaberry, delivers comprehensive benefits for skin resilience and barrier integrity.
A multi-functional active for skin resilience
Formulate Labs presents Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, a powerful botanical active derived from *Hippophae rhamnoides*. While often recognized by its trade names Sea Buckthorn or Seaberry, Formulate Labs specifies ingredients by their INCI name to ensure precise identification for formulators, rather than by supplier-specific SKUs.
Dual mechanism: Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract operates through several synergistic pathways. Firstly, it supports the skin's natural antioxidant defenses by upregulating the Nrf2 pathway, which helps neutralize cellular oxidative stress and mitigate lipid metabolism disturbances caused by UV exposure, thereby inhibiting UV-induced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Secondly, its rich lipid and sterol profile provides key building blocks for the skin's moisture barrier, accelerating epidermal barrier restoration, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and soothing the skin by suppressing pro-inflammatory signaling pathways.
Use levels: — Formulate Labs recommends incorporating this 5% hydroglycerin stock of *Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract* into cosmetic formulations at a typical use rate of 0.2% to 3.0% to achieve optimal functional benefits.
Market context: — Competitors frequently leverage the botanical's natural resilience to harsh, high-altitude climates in their marketing to validate claims of superior environmental stress protection and exceptional nutrient density. The extract is often positioned as a premium, restorative active for compromised skin, frequently co-formulated with ingredients like ceramides and panthenol in products targeting barrier repair, rosacea-prone skin, and photo-aging. Top-tier B2B suppliers differentiate their offerings by marketing highly standardized extracts, guaranteeing specific percentages of key bioactives to target demanding clinical and 'clean-label' market sectors.
Pricing context: — B2B pricing data for specialized, custom hydroglycerin cosmetic extracts is generally sparse. However, estimations from adjacent markets indicate that high-purity, water-soluble cosmetic-grade extracts will command a mid-to-high pricing tier, with premiums for organic certifications or standardization. Formulate Labs offers the 5% hydroglycerin stock of *Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract* at a competitive pricing ladder: 500 g for $180.00, 1 kg for $280.00, and a 17 kg pail for $4,080.00, which equates to $240.00/kg.
