The extract

The Story of Zingiber Officinale Root Extract

Botanical Identity: Zingiber Officinale Root Extract is derived from the common ginger plant. Trade Names: Commonly known as Ginger Root Extract, Ginger, or Zingiber. At Formulate Labs, we ensure clarity by always providing the official INCI name, Zingiber Officinale Root Extract, for precise formulation and regulatory compliance, rather than proprietary supplier SKUs.

Dual mechanism: Zingiber Officinale Root Extract's mechanism is twofold. First, it helps protect the skin from oxidative stress by activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Second, it supports the skin's structural integrity by mitigating factors related to inflammaging; it achieves this by inhibiting matrix-degrading enzymes like collagenase and elastase, as well as key inflammatory pathways such as COX-2 and NF-κB. This dual action helps preserve dermal proteins and refine skin tone by gently stimulating microcirculation.

Use levels: — Formulate Labs' fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock of Zingiber Officinale Root Extract is typically recommended at 0.1% to 2.0% in skincare, scalp care, and color cosmetic emulsions.

Market context: — The market for Zingiber Officinale Root Extract is characterized by its positioning in well-aging, anti-irritation, and energizing formulations. Competitors like Symrise highlight premium anti-aging and redness relief; Croda emphasizes traditional Ayurvedic stories for microcirculation; and MakingCosmetics focuses on dual-action benefits like collagenase inhibition for anti-wrinkle effects and antimicrobial properties for scalp care.

Pricing context: — B2B pricing for standardized Zingiber Officinale Root Extract varies, with general market indicators suggesting cosmetic-grade botanical extracts range from $60 to $180 per kilogram. Highly standardized or certified organic variants can command a premium, typically $180 to $400 per kilogram. Formulate Labs offers competitive pricing, such as $78.00 for a 500g sample, $120.00 for 1kg, and $1,734.00 ($102.00/kg) for a 17kg drum.
