juniperus communis fruit extract

Juniperus communis fruit extract is derived from the ripe berries of the juniper plant, Juniperus communis L., belonging to the Cupressaceae family. This botanical extract appears as a natural substance used predominantly in cosmetic and flavoring formulations. The material is noted for its woody odor and herbal flavor profile, making it valuable in perfuming agents and skin conditioning products. Synonyms include juniper berries extract, juniper berry extract, and actiphyte of juniper berry extract among others. It is closely linked to the natural compound entries found in controlled-vocabulary sources such as PubChem. The extract is typically obtained through processing of the ripe fruits, yielding a preparation that reflects the characteristic sensory notes of juniper berries.

Juniperus communis fruit extract occurs naturally as the processed extract of juniper berries, which grow on the Juniperus communis shrub widely distributed in temperate regions. The extract finds application in both cosmetic products and flavor and fragrance agents due to its distinctive woody and herbal sensory qualities. In cosmetics, it serves as a skin conditioning agent and is appreciated for its inclusion in perfuming compositions. Regulatory recognition includes registration and assessment under standards like FEMA (US), where it holds the number 2603, indicating its evaluation for flavoring uses. This extract is versatile, contributing to product formulations where natural botanical aroma or herbal character is desired, such as in aftershaves, skin tonics, and some food flavorings.

The extract has a shelf life of approximately six months under proper storage conditions, which include maintaining it in a cool, dry place shielded from heat and light exposure within tightly sealed containers. No significant physical hazards or toxicities have been identified according to OSHA standards, and no specific GHS classifications apply to this material. Its woody odor and herbal flavor components contribute to its functionality in formulation. These properties make the extract compatible with various cosmetic and flavor products where it imparts characteristic aromatic and gustatory nuances without posing notable safety or stability concerns under recommended storage guidelines.
