Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract
Formulate Labs offers Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract as a standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock, standardized for its unparalleled content of botanical ascorbic acid, complemented by gallic and ellagic acids. This pure INCI provides the foundation for diverse cosmetic applications, unlike proprietary trade-name formulations.
*Terminalia Ferdinandiana*
Introducing Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, commonly known as Kakadu Plum or Gubinge, a botanical powerhouse celebrated for its exceptional phytochemical profile. Formulate Labs provides this pure INCI, enabling formulators to integrate the science directly into their products, distinct from proprietary supplier formulations.
Dual mechanism: The extract's primary action involves neutralizing damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) to protect skin from oxidative stress and mitigate signs of "inflammaging" by downregulating the NF-κB pathway [3, 4, 5]. Furthermore, it supports skin structure by inhibiting Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), an enzyme implicated in collagen degradation from environmental stressors [3, 4, 5], positioning it as a premium active for advanced cosmetic formulations.
Use levels: Formulate Labs recommends typical use levels of 1.0% to 10.0% of our standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock, allowing for flexible incorporation into a wide array of cosmetic applications [8, 10].
Market context: Formulate Labs offers the pure INCI, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, empowering formulators to craft unique brand stories. This foundational INCI underpins several major trade-name actives, including "Superox-C™-class" for skin luminosity and anti-wrinkle effects, "Wildplum Harvest AF-class" for hydration and barrier protection, and "Kakadu Plum Cellular Extract-class" for overall scalp health [2, 12, 13, 14, 15]. Our extract provides the scientific basis for all these benefits with maximum formulation flexibility.
We ship standard or concentrated extract stock with selectable preservation - ready to meter into finished formulas at the use rates in the formulation guide below.*
Trade names (Superox-C, Wildplum Harvest AF, Kakadu Plum Cellular Extract) refer to specific supplier formulations and are not indicative of Formulate Labs' pure INCI.

Peer-reviewed scientific literature underscores the multi-functional benefits of Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, highlighting its robust antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory potential, and structural support for skin, validated by both in vitro and in vivo studies. 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.
Research shows that methanolic and aqueous extracts significantly inhibit key pro-inflammatory markers by downregulating the NF-κB pathway, supporting use in cosmetic formulations to soothe skin and visibly reduce signs of irritation and "inflammaging."
This paper validates the fruit's robust phytochemical profile, confirming high concentrations of antioxidants, fatty acids, and minerals essential for skin barrier function, supporting inclusion in products aimed at reinforcing the epidermal barrier and maintaining skin homeostasis.
An in vivo study demonstrated that a 0.1% concentration of the extract visibly inhibits MMP-1 expression after UV-B exposure, thereby helping to protect against collagen degradation. This function is critical for anti-aging products intended to support skin firmness and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Bulk composition at the selected Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract loading. Base carrier components scale proportionally when preservative is added; extract stays at the selected loading. Updates dynamically when you change base or preservation above. Full CAS disclosure is on the SDS/TDS for the selected variant (FL-TEF-W1-MBS4-5PCT-001).
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.
