Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Harness the multi-faceted power of Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, also known as Five-Flavor Berry. Rich in dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, this ingredient offers comprehensive support for skin resilience and defense against environmental stressors.
Five-Flavor Berry
Botanical Identity: *Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract* is derived from the fruit of the *Schisandra chinensis* plant, commonly known as Five-Flavor Berry. The official INCI name is Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract.
Dual mechanism: The primary bioactives in *Schisandra chinensis* are dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans (including schisandrin, gomisin, and schisandrol), flavonoids, and phenolic acids. These compounds provide comprehensive benefits for skin appearance through multiple pathways. Mechanistically, the extract helps neutralize reactive oxygen species and interrupts pro-inflammatory signaling cascades (COX-2, MAPK, NF-κB) to defend skin from environmental stressors. For structural support, it stimulates the synthesis of collagen XVII and ladinin-1, two key proteins that reinforce the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). This action improves skin cohesion, resilience, and elasticity. The extract also helps promote a more even skin tone by suppressing tyrosinase activity.
Use levels: — The recommended usage rate for *Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract* is 0.1% to 3.0%. Clinical efficacy for dermal-epidermal junction firming is substantiated at a 0.3% usage rate.
Market context: — *Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract* is positioned in the market across three primary platforms. Premium brands market the extract as a "Skin Cohesion Designer," focusing on its unique ability to strengthen the dermal-epidermal junction and provide a visible lifting and firming effect for mature skin. In the clean-beauty sector, it is positioned as an adaptogenic botanical that helps calm hyper-reactive skin and visibly reduce redness, appealing to consumers with sensitive or stressed skin. Brands also leverage its high antioxidant capacity to make claims related to broad-spectrum protection against environmental aggressors, including urban pollution and the effects of UV-induced photoaging.
Pricing context: — Public B2B wholesale pricing for cosmetic-grade liquid *Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract* is sparse, as pricing typically requires direct supplier quotation and depends heavily on volume and standardized lignan concentration. While standard dried powder extracts may wholesale for $10 to $20 USD per kilogram, the pricing for specialized fluid extracts is less transparent. A realistic B2B price ladder that Formulate Labs could offer is: 500 g sample: $97.50, 1 kg: $150.00, 17 kg pail: $2,125.00 ($125.00/kg).
