Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessMOIST Raspberry

How Rubus Coreanus Root Extract Works

AccessMOIST Raspberry harnesses the potent bioactive compounds found in the root of the Korean blackberry, Rubus coreanus. Its primary mechanism centers on robust anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating activity. The extract helps inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and down-regulates pro-inflammatory cytokines that drive redness, itching, and irritation. In parallel, it has been shown to influence 5α-reductase activity, an enzyme linked to excess sebum production. By simultaneously calming inflammation and normalizing oil output, it directly addresses key factors behind seborrheic dermatitis and acne-prone conditions, helping restore balance to both skin and scalp.

Formulation Guidelines

AccessMOIST Raspberry is a water-soluble extract that integrates seamlessly into a wide range of systems. Add to the water phase; in emulsions, incorporate during the cool-down phase below 40°C (104°F) to preserve bioactivity. It is stable in typical cosmetic pH ranges (approximately 4.5–7.0) and shows high compatibility with common soothing and scalp-care co-actives, including salicylic acid, zinc PCA, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid.
