Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Formulate Labs offers a fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock of Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract, a powerful botanical active rich in A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), anthocyanins, and low-molecular-weight biopeptides. Unlike specialized trade-named derivatives like Peptilium®, Cranberry Pro®, or Neo Actipone®, our INCI-pure extract provides comprehensive skin benefits rooted in robust scientific evidence.
Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract is recognized for its rich profile of antioxidants and biopeptides, supporting skin health.
Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract, derived from the cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) fruit, is a versatile botanical active. While the market features numerous branded derivatives such as Peptilium®-class, Cranberry Pro®-class, and Neo Actipone®-class actives, Formulate Labs provides the pure INCI material, Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract, in an optimized suspension, not a specific supplier SKU.
Dual mechanism: Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract delivers high-performance cosmetic benefits through its rich concentration of A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), anthocyanins, and low-molecular-weight biopeptides. These compounds act as potent antioxidants, scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) to protect the skin from environmental stressors, which helps to downregulate inflammatory cascades and neutralize metalloproteinases. Additionally, the extract's unique biopeptides support extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling by upregulating structural genes like EDAR, stimulating collagen synthesis and reinforcing the epidermal barrier for improved skin firmness and texture.
Use levels: For Formulate Labs' fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock of Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract, typical incorporation rates range from 5% to 10% in final cosmetic formulations for comprehensive benefits, consistent with recommendations for standard liquid extracts. For formulations seeking the more targeted effects of purified biopeptide fractions, higher concentrations of our stock may be explored, noting that these fractions are effective at 0.5–2% of pure active.
Market context: The market for Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract includes several specialized grades, each positioned with distinct marketing claims. Examples include Peptilium®-class actives, marketed as a natural retinol alternative for anti-aging; Cranberry Pro®-class actives, focused on microbiome-friendly applications and managing cutaneous biofilms; and Neo Actipone®-class actives, which emphasize gentle AHA-like exfoliation, sebum regulation, and skin brightening from upcycled juice by-products.
Pricing context: Public B2B pricing for highly purified, cosmetic-grade peptide or protein suspensions of Vaccinium macrocarpon is sparse. While commodity-grade bulk fruit powder extracts (standardized to 25% proanthocyanidins) typically range from $10/kg to $56/kg, advanced hydroglycerin cosmetic fractions, purified for enhanced efficacy and peptide content, command a significant clinical-grade premium. Formulate Labs' 500 g sample is $165, 1 kg is $255, and a 17 kg pail is $205/kg.

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Fruit Extract is a highly researched botanical, with peer-reviewed studies highlighting its dense concentration of A-type proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, and biopeptides. Research supports its role in improving skin elasticity, reducing UV-induced redness, accelerating natural repair processes, and increasing collagen content, underscoring its multifunctional cosmetic potential. 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.
The extract demonstrably supports the skin's natural repair functions, showing significant acceleration in wound contraction. It also effectively increases tissue hydroxyproline content, directly correlating to a boost in collagen for improved skin structure.
This paper validates the profound free-radical scavenging capacity of the extract's constituent polyphenols. This mechanism underpins its function as a powerful antioxidant active for protecting skin from environmental damage and associated signs of aging.
The study concluded that the extract effectively helps soothe skin by reducing UVB-induced redness (erythema). It also provides a measurable improvement in gross skin elasticity, supporting its use in firming and skin-rejuvenating formulations.
