Bearberry extract

Bearberry extract (CAS 84776-10-3 ), derived from the leaves of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, is a botanical ingredient standardized primarily for its arbutin content. This compound drives skin-brightening and antioxidant activity in finished formulations. Procurement teams source it as a natural active for cosmetic, nutraceutical, and functional food applications. It is ideal where plant-derived preservation and tone-evening performance are required for high-end product lines. In skincare formulations, it is used as a tyrosinase-inhibiting active in serums, creams, and spot-treatment products. These applications target hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone through natural chemical pathways. Cosmetic manufacturers also incorporate it as a natural preservative booster, extending product stability in water-based systems. This dual-functionality makes it a versatile choice for clean-label personal care formulations. In nutraceuticals and dietary supplements, it appears in urinary tract health formulations. Standardized arbutin and tannin levels are the key specification criteria for these specific health-focused applications. Food-grade versions are used in functional beverages and wellness products positioned around antioxidant content. These products must meet strict safety guidelines to ensure suitability for human consumption in various markets. Bearberry extract is supplied as a dry powder or liquid extract, with dry forms being the most common for manufacturing. Standard grades include cosmetic-grade and food-grade, with specifications defined by arbutin content. Standardization commonly ranges from 10% to 70% depending on the specific application. Hydroglycolic and hydroalcoholic liquid extracts are also available for direct incorporation into liquid cosmetic formulas. Contact us for supply of Bearberry extract Request Quote
