The extract

The Science of Wild Blueberry: Resilience for Modern Skin

Botanical Identity & Trade Names: Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract, also known by common trade names like 'Vaccinium angustifolium fruit powder' or 'wild blueberry', is a potent botanical ingredient. Formulate Labs provides a standardized 5% hydroglycerin solution of this INCI, focusing on its specific cosmetic benefits rather than generic supplier SKUs or raw fruit powders.

Dual mechanism: The extract primarily functions by leveraging its high concentration of polyphenols and anthocyanins, which act as potent antioxidants to neutralize reactive oxygen species and mitigate oxidative stress from environmental factors. Secondarily, it helps preserve the dermal matrix by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9) that degrade collagen and elastin, and by preventing the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), thereby maintaining skin's firmness and elasticity.

Use levels: For our 5% hydroglycerin stock, a typical use level ranges from 5.0% to 10.0%. For formulations targeting intensive treatments or enhanced benefits, the concentration can be increased up to 20.0% of this stock.

Market context: *Vaccinium Angustifolium* Fruit Extract is positioned as a high-performance, science-backed botanical active within the premium clean-beauty sector. Key market narratives focus on clean-beauty and cellular longevity, environmental shielding against pollution and blue-light, and clinical standardization with guaranteed percentages of key bioactives like anthocyanins or total phenolics.

Pricing context: Public B2B pricing for isolated cosmetic-grade suspensions of this extract is sparse, with generic botanical liquid extracts typically ranging from $14.00 to $19.00 per pound. Formulate Labs' 5% hydroglycerin suspension is priced competitively, with a 500g sample at $143.00, 1kg at $220.00, and 17kg at $180.00/kg.

Why formulators reach for it

Science-backed cosmetic positioning.

Environmental Defense
Potent antioxidants help neutralize reactive oxygen species, safeguarding skin from urban pollutants and external stressors.
Youthful & Firm Skin
Inhibits collagen-degrading enzymes (MMPs) and prevents protein cross-linking, helping to maintain skin's firmness and elasticity.
Anti-Glycation*
Disrupts the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs), a key factor in the appearance of premature skin aging.
Soothes & Protects Barrier
Helps mitigate UVB-induced inflammatory responses and supports the integrity of the skin's natural cutaneous barrier.

Published research

Peer-reviewed literature for due diligence.

Our understanding of Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract's cosmetic efficacy is grounded in robust peer-reviewed research, exploring its actions against key aging mechanisms and environmental damage in skin models and clinical settings. 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.
