The extract
The Science Behind Noni Extract
Botanical Identity: Morinda citrifolia (Noni) fruit extract is a multi-functional active that supports skin's structural integrity and resilience for well-aging and photoprotection applications. Its phytochemical constituents, including peptides and proteins, provide potent antioxidant activity by scavenging reactive oxygen species and inhibiting UV-induced melanogenesis. Trade Names & Formulate Labs: While commercially known by trade names such as Provital (Noni Extract M.S.), Vytrus Biotech (Deobiome Noni™), and Symrise (Actipone® Noni Fruit GW), Formulate Labs provides the high-purity INCI active, Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract, allowing formulators to leverage these proven benefits without being tied to a specific trade name or marketing story.
Dual mechanism: Morinda citrifolia fruit extract supports skin's structural integrity and resilience through several key pathways. It provides potent antioxidant activity by scavenging reactive oxygen species and inhibiting UV-induced melanogenesis. At a cellular level, it protects the extracellular matrix (ECM) by suppressing the activity of matrix metalloproteinases, specifically MMP-1, while concurrently up-regulating the synthesis of type I procollagen. The extract also promotes dermal fibroblast proliferation and activates the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, further shielding the ECM and promoting new collagen and elastin synthesis.
Use levels: Our standardized Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract is recommended for use at 0.5% – 2.0% in topical skincare and biological deodorant applications, dosed directly from Formulate Labs' 5% hydroglycerin stock solution.
Market context: Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract is a versatile active competing with several established specialty ingredients. Active peptide and protein fractions are found in trade name-class materials like Provital (Noni Extract M.S.), positioned for well-aging, photoprotection, and vitality in sensitive skin products. Stem cell derivatives, such as Vytrus Biotech (Deobiome Noni™), are marketed as "Biological Deodorant" focusing on prebiotic and microbiome-modulating mechanisms. Symrise (Actipone® Noni Fruit GW) focuses on the fruit's Ayurvedic heritage and antioxidant properties. Formulate Labs offers the high-purity INCI active, allowing formulators to use these benefits without trade name constraints.
Pricing context: Public B2B pricing data for standardized, cosmetic-grade peptide and protein suspensions of this extract is sparse, unlike unstandardized botanical commodity powders available on wholesale markets. Proprietary protein fractions for high-performance cosmetics typically lack transparent pricing. Formulate Labs provides competitive pricing for its standardized Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract, with a 500 g sample at $162.50, 1 kg at $250.00, and 17 kg (Pail) at $3,612.50 ($212.50 / kg).
