Botanical Oil

Hylocereus Undatus (Dragonfruit) Seed Oil — pending official INCI confirmation

An antioxidant- and essential fatty acid-rich botanical oil that helps nourish and moisturize, support the skin barrier, improve softness and suppleness, and promote a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion.

Key Benefits

  • Provides lightweight nourishment
  • Supports moisture retention
  • Softens rough skin
  • Supplies essential-fatty-acid-rich emollience
  • Offers antioxidant-supportive care

How It Works

Dragonfruit seed oil coats the stratum corneum with triglycerides rich in linoleic acid, helping fill spaces between dry cells and improve surface flexibility.

Published composition studies report approximately 45–55% linoleic acid in tested dragon-fruit seed oils, along with notable tocopherol content. Exact composition varies by species, variety, extraction, and storage.

These data support an emollient and antioxidant-containing raw material, but they do not establish a universal official INCI. The final ingredient declaration must follow the supplier's verified documentation and applicable regulatory nomenclature.

What It Is

An oil extracted from dragon-fruit seeds, with published samples rich in linoleic acid and tocopherols. This record intentionally leaves the official cosmetic INCI unconfirmed pending documentation.

Hylocereus Undatus (Dragonfruit) Seed Oil — pending official INCI confirmation FAQs

Common questions about this ingredient in skincare.

What is dragonfruit seed oil?
It is a lipid-rich oil extracted from dragon-fruit seeds and is commonly high in linoleic acid with smaller amounts of oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids.
What is its official INCI name?
Official confirmation is still pending for this record. The final name must be taken from current supplier and regulatory documentation rather than inferred from a common botanical name.
Why is the INCI status pending?
Dragon-fruit taxonomy and commercial naming can vary, and a scientifically plausible name is not automatically an officially recognized cosmetic declaration.
What does the oil do for skin?
Its triglycerides provide emollient conditioning, helping improve softness, moisture retention, and visible suppleness.
Does it contain antioxidants?
Composition studies report tocopherols and in-vitro antioxidant activity, but levels vary with species, extraction, refining, and storage.
How should it be stored?
Because it is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, keep it protected from heat, light, and prolonged air exposure and follow the finished product's storage directions.
