About

Fruit extract from the Amur cork tree, traditionally used in skincare for its protective and antioxidant properties.

Phellodendron amurense fruit is used in traditional Chinese medicine and contains benzylisoquinoline alkaloids including berberine, palmatine, and jatrorrhizine. Berberine has been studied for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. While not restricted under EU cosmetics regulation, berberine-containing ingredients should be used at appropriate concentrations. The fruit extract is considered safe in cosmetic formulations at typical use levels.
