Portulaca Oleracea Extract
Unlock comprehensive skin support with Portulaca Oleracea Extract, a standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock standardized for key actives like glutathione, polysaccharides, vitamins A, C, E, flavonoids, and \u03B1-linolenic acid. Formulate Labs provides the INCI-named raw material, not the botanical (Purslane) itself.
A multifunctional botanical for comprehensive skin support.
Botanical Identity: Derived from the resilient succulent botanical Portulaca oleracea, commonly known as Purslane. This extract is a multifunctional active recognized for its comprehensive skin support. Formulate Labs offers the precise INCI name, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, ensuring clear ingredient communication and avoiding proprietary supplier SKUs.
Dual mechanism: Antioxidant Protection & Soothing Action. Portulaca oleracea extract's rich phytochemical profile works synergistically to provide comprehensive skin support. Its antioxidants help neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) to protect against environmental aggressors. Primarily, it soothes the skin by helping to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulating key inflammatory pathways, which can visibly reduce facial redness and support natural barrier repair processes. It also functions by helping to inhibit the tyrosinase enzyme for cosmetic brightening effects.
Use levels: For Formulate Labs' Standard or Concentrated hydroglycerin stock of Portulaca Oleracea Extract, typical use levels range from 0.1% to 5.0% in the final cosmetic formulation. A standard range of 1.0% to 2.0% of this stock is generally effective for daily anti-irritation and soothing benefits.
Market context: Portulaca Oleracea Extract is heavily leveraged in the Korean skincare market as a primary soothing and recovery agent, ideal for formulas targeting redness, blemishes, and barrier damage, especially in post-treatment or sensitive skin lines. It is also positioned as a sustainable botanical alternative to synthetic anti-inflammatory agents, capitalizing on consumer demand for effective natural ingredients. Furthermore, its complex matrix of beneficial compounds offers a multi-pathway approach to protecting the skin from environmental photoaging, differentiating it from single-molecule actives.

Portulaca Oleracea Extract is documented in cosmetic peptide/protein literature. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.

SDS + TDS are issued per selected recipe. Links swap when you change selections above. A sample COA shows the standard extract QC panel (pH, organoleptic, TAMC/TYMC). Lot-specific COAs ship with every order.
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.
This is a ready-to-use cosmetic extract stock, not a finished consumer product and not a standardized marker isolate. We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected hydroglycerin or oil carrier. Aqueous lots are released on pH, organoleptic, TAMC, and TYMC (total counts only). Oil macerates are released on organoleptic only. A sample COA is on this page; the lot-specific COA ships with the order.
