Skin aging by glycation: lessons from the reconstructed skin model.
Research demonstrates the extract's ability to interfere with glycation and downregulate collagen-degrading enzymes, preserving skin structural integrity.
Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract
Formulate Labs offers a standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock of Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract, a potent botanical active rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins. Our standardized cosmetic ingredient provides superior skin benefits, distinguishing it from generic wild blueberry or fruit powder varieties.
Wild blueberry: a resilient skin ally
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 Standard or Concentrated hydroglycerin stock 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 Standard or Concentrated 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.

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.

Clinical findings show topical application of blueberry polyphenols helps calm skin and fortify its natural barrier against environmental stressors after UVB exposure.
This study highlights the extract's direct anti-aging potential by showing its flavonoids strongly inhibit enzymes responsible for collagen breakdown, helping maintain skin firmness.

Bulk composition at the selected Vaccinium Angustifolium 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-VAA-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.
