The extract

Amla Fruit Extract: Ayurvedic Heritage Meets Advanced Cosmetic Science

Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract, commonly known as Amla or Indian Gooseberry, is derived from the fruit of the Emblica Officinalis tree. Esteemed in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, this botanical is gaining recognition in modern cosmetics for its potent skin and hair benefits. At Formulate Labs, we ensure clarity by providing materials identified by their INCI name, not by specific supplier SKUs or traditional common names.

Dual mechanism: Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract exhibits a unique, multi-stage "cascading" antioxidant defense, effectively neutralizing a broad spectrum of reactive oxygen species over an extended period without pro-oxidant risk. Cosmetically, it supports anti-aging by helping to maintain collagen integrity through downregulating MMP-1 and MMP-2, and promotes an even skin tone by suppressing melanin synthesis via tyrosinase and TRP-2 inhibition.

Use levels: For optimal efficacy and stability, formulate Formulate Labs' 5% hydroglycerin stock of Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract at concentrations of 0.1% to 1.0% in skincare and scalp treatment formulas. It is readily soluble in water, glycerin, and propanediol, and should be added during the cool-down phase (below 60°C) with a final pH between 4.0 and 6.0.

Market context: This extract is positioned as a premium, high-performance active, often leveraging its rich history in Ayurvedic tradition as a "superfruit" adaptogen. It competes as a stable, non-irritating botanical alternative to synthetic antioxidants and brightening agents like ascorbic acid and hydroquinone, offering broad-spectrum photo-aging defense and excellent formulation stability for both skin rejuvenation and hair follicle support.

Pricing context: While public pricing data for standardized liquid Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract is scarce, a benchmark against comparable glycerin-based botanical extracts indicates a bulk cost of approximately $43.30/kg. Formulate Labs offers this material with a realistic price ladder, including 500g samples at $58.50, 1kg at $90.00, and 17kg pails at $935.00 ($55.00/kg).

We ship a fixed 5% extract blend with selectable preservation - ready to meter into water-phase formulas at the use rates in the formulation guide below.*

Formulation guide

Built for chemists who sweat the details.

Typical use rate (this stock)
0.1% to 1.0% in skincare and scalp treatment formulas.
pH compatibility
4.5 – 5.1 (stock target; finished-formula pH window per stability data)
Solubility
Readily soluble in water, glycerin, and propanediol. It is highly compatible with hydroglycerin-based systems.
Temperature
Add during the cool-down phase (below 60°C) and package final product in light-protected containers.
Incompatibilities
The tannins are strong reducing agents and will react with transition metal ions (iron, copper, chromium), causing an immediate dark brown or purple color shift. The use of a chelating agent is required to prevent this discoloration.
Pairs well with
Chelating agents (e.g., Disodium EDTA, Sodium Phytate) are required to prevent discoloration when formulating with transition metal ions.
Self-preserving
Yes - 2% Linatural MBS-4. Boost preservation per your finished-formula needs
