Product Description
Elderberry Fruit Oil — plant based lipid raw material for advanced formulation and industrial manufacturing
Properties and functional role
Elderberry fruit oil derived from Sambucus nigra is a plant based lipid ingredient widely used in modern formulation systems. It is also known as Sambucus Nigra Fruit Oil or Elderberry Seed Oil. This ingredient contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols and lipophilic compounds that influence formulation stability and performance. In manufacturing systems it acts as a carrier for oil soluble actives, improving distribution and enhancing texture. It remains stable under heating up to 75°C and integrates efficiently into oil phases and emulsions. It is compatible with esters, plant oils, waxes and silicones and does not disrupt emulsion stability when properly formulated.
Properties and result
In formulations it provides smooth application, balanced viscosity and uniform texture. It reduces phase separation risks and improves homogeneity. In cosmetic systems it enhances sensory properties. In nutraceutical and food systems it may contribute to mild fruit profile characteristics. In home care products it acts as a carrier for fragrance compounds and improves stability. In SPA applications it is used to create stable oil blends with predictable behavior.
Purpose
Elderberry oil is used as a multifunctional ingredient in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, food systems and industrial formulations. It serves as a plant based oil component in emulsions and anhydrous products. In contract manufacturing it is widely applied for developing customized formulations.
Application
The ingredient is incorporated into the oil phase during heating or cold blending. Recommended usage levels range from 1% to 12%. It distributes evenly during homogenization in emulsions and fully integrates into anhydrous systems. Temperature and compatibility control are essential for optimal performance.
