PRUNUS CERASUS EXTRACT / BITTER CHERRY EXTRACT. [+/- MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR CI 73360 / RED 30 ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is primarily used as a botanical extract for antioxidant positioning, light skin-conditioning, and product storytelling. When the optional synthetic red pigment is present, it also contributes color to the finished formula.
What does PRUNUS CERASUS EXTRACT / BITTER CHERRY EXTRACT. [+/- MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR CI 73360 / RED 30 do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is primarily used as a botanical extract for antioxidant positioning, light skin-conditioning, and product storytelling. When the optional synthetic red pigment is present, it also contributes color to the finished formula.
Is PRUNUS CERASUS EXTRACT / BITTER CHERRY EXTRACT. [+/- MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR CI 73360 / RED 30 clean?
The botanical portion is generally acceptable in clean-beauty frameworks, but sensitivity depends on extraction solvent, residual impurities, and natural aromatic compounds. The optional synthetic colorant creates more clean-standard friction because many clean programs limit or exclude synthetic dyes and lake pigments.
Is PRUNUS CERASUS EXTRACT / BITTER CHERRY EXTRACT. [+/- MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR CI 73360 / RED 30 sustainable?
This material is plant-derived when it is only the extract, with sourcing tied to agricultural inputs, solvent choice, and extract concentration. The optional red pigment is synthetic and less aligned with renewable sourcing, and insoluble pigments can add persistence concerns depending on particle form and wastewater controls.
Is PRUNUS CERASUS EXTRACT / BITTER CHERRY EXTRACT. [+/- MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR CI 73360 / RED 30 COSMOS-approved?
The extract portion can align with COSMOS-natural or COSMOS-organic when made from approved plant material using permitted extraction methods and solvents. The optional synthetic red pigment is generally not COSMOS-aligned, so the full listing is condition-dependent and may not qualify for COSMOS-certified natural or organic formulas.
How does PRUNUS CERASUS EXTRACT / BITTER CHERRY EXTRACT. [+/- MAY CONTAIN / PEUT CONTENIR CI 73360 / RED 30 work chemically?
This material is a complex botanical mixture that may include polyphenols, organic acids, sugars, minerals, and anthocyanin-type color bodies depending on plant part, solvent, and processing. These compounds are typically pH-sensitive and oxidation-sensitive, while the optional red pigment behaves as an insoluble colorant that needs good dispersion rather than true dissolution.
