Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract from Formulate Labs delivers a fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock of potent actives, supporting the skin’s extracellular matrix integrity by inhibiting MMPs, promoting collagen synthesis, and evening skin tone through tyrosinase inhibition. Unlike proprietary blends, our ingredient provides the pure INCI active for your unique formulations.
Bilberry Extract
Botanical Identity: Formulate Labs’ Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract is derived from the bilberry plant, also known by common names such as Vaccinium myrtillus fruit powder or European blueberry. Please Note: We supply the pure INCI active, not branded supplier SKUs like Fision® PentaFruit V, Telessence Mitelion™, or Actiplants® Bilberry.
Dual mechanism: Vaccinium myrtillus Fruit Extract helps preserve the integrity of the skin's extracellular matrix by significantly inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), such as collagenase and hyaluronidase. Concurrently, it supports the skin's natural collagen synthesis processes in dermal fibroblasts, contributing to a reduction in the visible signs of photoaging. Furthermore, its potent tyrosinase-inhibiting properties help manage hyperpigmentation, promoting a more uniform and even-toned complexion.
Use levels: — For Formulate Labs' hydroglycerin and propanediol-based extract, a typical use level ranges from 1.0% to 10.0% of the final formulation, allowing for versatile applications across various cosmetic products.
Market context: — Formulate Labs provides the pure, unbranded INCI active, enabling formulators to create unique product narratives. This specific active is also found in several trade-name materials such as Active Concepts (Fision® PentaFruit V / ACB Fruit Mix)-class actives positioned for cellular renewal and immediate skin smoothing, LipoTrue (Telessence Mitelion™)-class actives marketed as an epigenetic protector against 'Phystress' and environmental oxidative damage, and Symrise (Actiplants® Bilberry)-class actives leveraged to support anti-irritant, anti-pollution, and microcirculation-boosting claims.
Pricing context: — While public B2B market pricing data for highly standardized cosmetic peptide and protein suspensions of this specific extract remains sparse, commodity-grade dry powder wholesale pricing typically fluctuates between $8 and $12 per kg. Formulate Labs' high-efficacy liquid extract is priced to reflect its standardization and performance, with a 500g sample at $78.00, 1kg at $120.00, and a 17kg pail at $1,632.00 ($96.00/kg).

Our commitment to evidence-based formulation is underscored by peer-reviewed research validating the efficacy of Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract. These studies demonstrate its multi-functional benefits for advanced anti-aging, skin brightening, and environmental protection in topical applications. 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.
This research validates the extract's multi-functional role by demonstrating its ability to inhibit key enzymes involved in structural degradation and pigmentation. These findings support its use as a validated ingredient for skin-conditioning and tone-evening formulations.
This study shows that fermented bilberry extract can visibly improve skin's appearance by enhancing firmness and brightness over 84 days. The data also quantifies its effect on reducing the appearance of wrinkle depth, making it a compelling active for anti-aging products.
This paper demonstrates the extract's capacity to help shield human keratinocytes from the damaging effects of UVA and UVB radiation. The findings support its use in daily-wear cosmetic products designed to help protect the skin from environmental stressors and reduce oxidative damage.
