myrica rubra leaf/stem extract

Myrica rubra leaf/stem extract is a plant-derived cosmetic ingredient obtained from the leaves and stems of the myrica rubra tree, noted for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties.

General Material Description

Myrica rubra leaf/stem extract is a botanical extract obtained from the leaves and stems of the myrica rubra tree, belonging to the family Myricaceae. This extract exhibits a sour flavor note and is known by various synonyms such as chinese bayberry leaf/stem extract, red bayberry leaf/stem extract, mountain peach leaf/stem extract, and yumberry leaf/stem extract. The extract is used predominantly in cosmetic formulations where it functions as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent. It is documented under [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Myrica-rubra) as a plant-derived natural extract, sourced from the bayberry plant native to East Asia, especially China. The extract's composition supports potential applications in emollient and bleaching cosmetic products.

Occurrence, Applicability & Potential Uses

Myrica rubra leaf/stem extract is sourced from the bayberry tree primarily found in East Asia. The extract is utilized in cosmetics as an antioxidant, skin conditioning agent, emollient, and skin protectant. Its inclusion in formulations benefits skin conditioning and potential depigmenting effects, making it relevant in bleaching cosmetic agents as well. Usage is aligned with cosmetic regulations such as REACH (EU), which governs the safety and allowable compounds in personal care products within the European Union. The extract is not approved for use in fragrances or flavors, limiting its application to topical cosmetic agents.

Physico-Chemical Properties Summary

Myrica rubra leaf/stem extract is a plant-derived liquid or semi-solid, characterized by a sour flavor profile. Its antioxidant capacity supports formulation stability and skin protective function. The extract’s physicochemical nature suggests solubility in aqueous or hydroalcoholic solvents, facilitating its integration into skin conditioning and bleaching products. The absence of identified hazard classifications under OSHA HCS implies a generally safe profile but with undetermined detailed toxicological data for oral, dermal, or inhalation routes. Formulators must consider the extract's reactivity, compatibility with other ingredients, and recommended usage levels confined to cosmetic topical applications.
