Ligustrum lucidum fruit extract

Ligustrum lucidum fruit extract (CAS 223749-57-3), also known commercially as Privet fruit extract, is derived from the dried berries of the glossy privet tree. It is standardized for bioactive compounds including oleanolic acid and echinacoside.

The extract functions as a botanical antioxidant and functional ingredient across nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic supply chains. In dietary supplements, it is incorporated into capsules and tablets targeting immune support.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as an active botanical ingredient in standardized herbal preparations. This is particularly common in traditional medicine product lines where documented bioactive content is a procurement requirement.

In personal care formulations, it is used in anti-aging and skin-conditioning products. Its antioxidant activity supports stability claims and active ingredient positioning for high-end cosmetic manufacturers and formulators.

Food and beverage applications include functional beverages and health food products. In these sectors, it contributes both flavoring character and antioxidant labeling value for consumer-facing health products.

The extract is supplied as a fine powder, typically spray-dried or water-extracted. Standardized grades are available by oleanolic acid content ranging from 10% to 98% to meet specific formulation needs.

Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications are both commercially available. Documentation supports compliance in regulated markets, ensuring the material meets USP or Ph.Eur. standards where applicable.

Organic-certified material is offered by select suppliers for clean-label formulation requirements. This ensures that the product meets the rigorous demands of modern B2B chemical and botanical procurement standards.
