Goji ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is used mainly as a skin-conditioning botanical extract, with antioxidant-support claims from naturally occurring polyphenols and pigments. It may also add a light sensorial or color contribution depending on the extract format.
What does Goji do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is used mainly as a skin-conditioning botanical extract, with antioxidant-support claims from naturally occurring polyphenols and pigments. It may also add a light sensorial or color contribution depending on the extract format.
Is Goji clean?
In clean-beauty frameworks, this ingredient is generally well tolerated and not a common restricted-list concern. As with many botanicals, sensitivity is possible in reactive skin, especially when the extract carries residual fragrance-like plant components.
Is Goji sustainable?
This material comes from a renewable plant source and is expected to be biodegradable. Its sustainability profile depends on farming practices, irrigation demand, extraction solvent choice, and concentration method.
Is Goji COSMOS-approved?
It can be permitted under COSMOS-natural and COSMOS-organic when sourced and processed with approved methods and solvents. It aligns reasonably well with Green Chemistry when made through water, glycerin, or ethanol extraction and supported by traceable agricultural sourcing.
How does Goji work chemically?
This material is a complex botanical mixture rather than a single molecule, typically containing polysaccharides, amino acids, phenolic compounds, and carotenoid-type pigments depending on the extract. Use levels are commonly around 0.1% to 5% for cosmetic extracts, and color-active fractions may be sensitive to light, oxygen, and high-heat processing.
