Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract
Formulate Labs presents Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, our standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock, a potent botanical active designed to protect and soothe blemish-prone skin. Driven by key actives like berberine, palmatine, and FQA, this extract-distinct from general Phellodendron or Amur Cork Tree bark preparations-offers multi-pathway environmental defense.
Bark Extract from the Amur Cork Tree
Botanical Identity: Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, also known by common names like Amur Cork Tree Bark Extract and historically as Phellodendron or Huang Bai, is a powerful botanical extract. Formulate Labs offers this ingredient by its precise INCI name, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, ensuring clear specification for formulators rather than proprietary supplier SKUs.
Dual mechanism: Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract supports skin health and appearance through a multi-pathway mechanism. For environmental defense, it inhibits Protease-Activated Receptor-2 (PAR-2) signaling, helping to block the influx of calcium into skin cells induced by airborne particulate matter. This action is complemented by its ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppress inflammatory cytokines like IL-8, providing a soothing effect. For blemish-prone skin, its key alkaloid, berberine, provides targeted activity against Propionibacterium acnes while also helping to regulate sebum production and support the repair of the skin barrier.
Use levels: For daily-use protective skincare, our Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract Standard or Concentrated hydroglycerin stock is recommended at 0.1%–5.0%. For targeted spot treatments addressing blemishes, the use level can be increased up to 10%–12% of this same stock.
Market context: Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract is strategically positioned in the B2B market through compelling narratives: as a science-backed active for anti-pollution and exposome shielding, offering protection against environmental stressors with its specific PAR-2 inhibition; as a cornerstone ingredient for synergistic acne control, providing antibacterial, sebum-regulating, and soothing properties for blemish-prone skin; and as a 'true-to-nature' 'Cellular Extract' that aligns with clean beauty, sustainable, and transparent formulation trends.

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.
