Damiana Pulverextrakt 10:1 (Turnera Diffusa): Flavonoide als Leitmarker in Pulverform - CONIUNCTA

The Damiana Powder Extract 10:1 (INCI: Turnera Diffusa) is a concentrated botanical raw material derived from the whole plant. As a golden-yellow to light-brown powder with an extraction ratio of 10:1, it is aimed at formulators and product developers in the cosmetic and food industries who are looking for a flavonoid-containing plant extract in a stable, easily dosable powder form. For processing, an extract of ethanol and water as well as maltodextrin as a carrier are available.

Turnera diffusa as the botanical basis

Damiana (Turnera diffusa) is an aromatic shrub. For this extract, the whole plant (Whole Plant) is processed, which incorporates the broad phytochemical profile of the species into the concentrate. The starting material originates from China and is processed into a fine powder with a particle size of 80 mesh (minimum 95 percent through 80 mesh, untamped).

Flavonoids as lead markers

Analytically defining for the Damiana Powder Extract are flavonoids, in particular apigenin and acacetin. In the product, flavonoids are indicatively present at 7 to 45 mg/g, derived from 0.1 to 0.5 percent in the dried plant material, multiplied by the concentration factor 10:1 and a yield of 70 to 90 percent. Apigenin is documented in the starting material at 0.05 to 0.2 percent.

As further verified compounds, essential oil containing cineol (0.5 to 1 percent in the starting material) as well as arbutin as an analytically accessible marker are documented. No quantitative figure is available for arbutin.

Cosmetic activity profile according to CDS

For cosmetic application, the Damiana extract is classified as soothing, based on the phytochemical profile and published literature. The cosmetic targets documented include ROS scavenging, MMP inhibition and modulation of NF-kappaB. These details describe the activity profile stored in the CDS and serve as guidance for formulation development; they do not constitute a formulation recommendation.

The extract is suitable for all cosmetic variants and is eligible as a cosmetic raw material in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009. The CDS recommends a use level of 1 to 3 percent for cosmetics; the general product recommendation is 2 to 5 percent. At a use level of 2 percent, a calculated 0.14 to 0.90 mg/g of flavonoids is introduced into the formulation.

Use in functional foods

For the food sector, the Damiana Powder Extract is classified as a nutritional antioxidant and as a traditional dietary ingredient. The targets listed in the CDS include metabolic health and oxidative stress reduction. A use level of 0.5 to 2 percent is recommended in functional foods and beverages; at a use level of 1.3 percent, a calculated 0.09 to 0.56 mg/g of flavonoids results in the formulation. The product is suitable for all carrier variants in food applications and is vegan.

Processing, stability and documentation

Glucuronoxylomannan

Snow Mushroom Extract (Tremella Fuciformis Extract): Glucuronoxylomannan for Moisturising Formulations

Snow Mushroom Extract (INCI: Tremella Fuciformis Extract) is a liquid, polysaccharide-rich preparation derived from the fruiting body of Tremella fuciformis. CONIUNCTA® offers the extract in three water-based carrier variants: with Glycerin, with Propylene Glycol/Water, and with Pentylene Glycol/Water. In all variants, the extract content is approximately 30%. The product is of conventional quality and suitable for all cosmetic applications; for food use, Novel Food status applies pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. For formulators, the extract is of particular interest due to its high polysaccharide content and the resulting functional properties. Glucuronoxylomannan as the Characteristic Polysaccharide Marker The central marker of Snow Mushroom Extract is the Tremella polysaccharides, in particular glucuronoxylomannan. In the product, these are indicatively reported in the CDS at 14 to 23.3 mg/mL. In the dried starting material, literature values (Wu et al. 2019) document contents of 50 to 70%. These high-molecular-weight polysaccharides define the functional profile of the extract. At a use concentration of 3%, this corresponds to a calculated 420 to 699 µg/mL polysaccharides in the finished formulation. No additional compounds are separately documented in the CDS, meaning the functional description remains closely tied to the polysaccharide system. Documented Properties for Skin Care According to the CDS, the following cosmetic properties are documented for Snow Mushroom Extract: moisturising, film-forming, wound healing support, anti-ageing, balancing, skin-plumping, and pro-age. The CDS lists mannose receptors, fibroblast proliferation, metabolic health, and the reduction of oxidative stress as application areas and targets. The film-forming and moisture-binding properties of the Tremella polysaccharides make the extract a valuable component for formulations targeting skin feel, hydration, and a well-groomed appearance. The terms referenced in marketing keywords (skin-caring, moisturising, anti-ageing) are consistent in substance with the CDS claims; however, they should always be used in accordance with cosmetics regulations and on the basis of one's own product testing. Three Carrier Variants for Different Formulation Approaches The three carrier variants differ in composition and INCI declaration, facilitating selection according to the formulation concept: Glycerin variant: INCI Glycerin, Tremella Fuciformis Extract; Glycerin (≥ 99.5%) as approximately 70% of the finished product, extract approx. 30%. Propylene Glycol variant: INCI Aqua (Water), Propylene Glycol, Tremella Fuciformis Extract; composition approx. 40% water, 30% extract, 30% Propylene Glycol. Pentylene Glycol variant: INCI Aqua, Pentylene Glycol, Tremella Fuciformis Extract; composition approx. 50% water, 30% extract, 20% Pentylene Glycol. All variants are water-based, clear liquids with a characteristic colour and a recommended use concentration of 2 to 5%.
