Frequently Asked Questions
For simple botanical story formulas, a 10:1 extract is often enough. For antioxidant hero positioning, an anthocyanin-standardized grade gives a clearer marker. If the formula is pale or transparent, ask for a lower-color sample or test very low use levels first.
Yes, blueberry is often used in eye creams and antioxidant serums because the berry story is easy for consumers to understand. Keep claims cosmetic: tired-looking skin, radiance, and environmental stress support are safer than claims about eye health or UV repair.
Yes. Anthocyanin-rich blueberry extract can strongly color a product. That may be desirable in masks or berry-themed products, but it can be a problem in white creams. pH stability testing is essential because color can shift over time.
Keep claims cosmetic and appearance-focused: hydration, comfort, radiance, antioxidant care, smoother-looking skin, visible aging support, or even-looking tone depending on the ingredient. Avoid disease, treatment, SPF, wound-healing, or drug-style claims unless the finished product is reviewed under the correct regulatory pathway.
