Botanical Source: Myrica rubra Siebold & Zucc. (Chinese Bayberry, Yumberry, Waxberry)
Used Part: Fruit
Active Components: Rich in Anthocyanins (esp. Cyanidin-3-Glucoside), Ellagic Acid, and Flavonoids.
Standardization: Often standardized to Total Anthocyanins (e.g., 4%, 10%) or Total Polyphenols.
Appearance: Fine, deep red to purple-red powder. Color intensity varies with anthocyanin content.
Solubility: Water-soluble extract; anthocyanins are pH-sensitive, displaying red hues in acidic conditions.
Key Antioxidant: Ellagic Acid is a notable and well-researched component.
Our specialized process focuses on preserving the delicate anthocyanins and maximizing the polyphenol profile:
Fruit Sourcing & Selection: Sourcing of ripe, high-quality waxberries from qualified orchards, quickly processed to retain freshness.
Gentle Crushing & Extraction: The fruits are gently crushed and immediately subjected to a cold, acidic water or mild ethanol extraction to stabilize and solubilize the anthocyanins and other heat-sensitive polyphenols.
Microfiltration & Clarification: The crude juice/extract undergoes fine filtration and ultrafiltration to remove pectins, proteins, and suspended solids, resulting in a clear, vibrant liquid.
Concentration & Purification: The clarified extract is concentrated under low-temperature vacuum. Further purification using macroporous resin adsorption may be employed to enrich the anthocyanin and ellagic acid content.
Standardization & Stabilization: The concentrated active fraction is standardized to a specific anthocyanin content. Natural stabilizers may be added to protect the color from degradation by light, heat, and oxygen.
Gentle Drying: The standardized liquid is spray-dried or freeze-dried using low-heat inlet temperatures to produce a fine powder that retains maximum color and bioactivity.
Color & Potency Verification: Each batch is analyzed for anthocyanin profile (via pH differential method/HPLC), ellagic acid content, antioxidant capacity (ORAC), and color value.
Waxberry Extract is incorporated into formulations for its potent and visually appealing properties:
Potent Cellular Antioxidant Defense: Neutralizes a wide spectrum of free radicals, protecting skin cells and other tissues from oxidative stress linked to premature aging.
Promotes Skin Brightening & Even Tone: Helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production pathways, promoting a more luminous complexion.
Soothes & Calms Skin: Provides anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to reduce redness and soothe sensitive or irritated skin.
Supports Collagen Health: Protects existing collagen from degradation and may support its synthesis, contributing to skin firmness and elasticity.
Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health: Supports healthy circulation, blood vessel function, and balanced blood sugar levels through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.
