Camu Camu Extract

Camu Camu Extract factory

1. English Name

Camu Camu Extract (sometimes shortened to “camu extract” in casual terms—you’ll also see it labeled by its active component, like “Camu Camu Vitamin C Extract” for clarity)

2. Specification

Active Content: ≥ 17% ascorbic acid (vitamin C, HPLC tested—this is the star! Premium grades can hit 20% for extra antioxidant power)；≥ 99% pure camu camu fruit extract (no added sugars or fillers)
Solubility: Highly water-soluble (mixes like a dream in smoothies, juices, or serums—no gritty residue, just a smooth texture)
Moisture: ≤ 5% (super dry to prevent clumping—stays fresh and potent for 2+ years if sealed properly)
Microbiology: Meets global food safety standards (no harmful bacteria—safe for oral and topical use)

3. Appearance

Bright ( fuchsia) to deep purple fine powder with a fresh, tangy-sweet berry aroma—definitely not a yellowish-white solid with chocolate scent! It smells just like ripe camu camu berries—fruity, zesty, and totally natural, with zero chocolate notes.

4. CAS NO.

N/A (it’s a natural fruit extract, not a single chemical. Its key component, ascorbic acid, has a CAS of 50-81-7, but the full camu camu extract doesn’t have a single CAS number)

5. Lead Time

3–7 Working Days. We stock both standard and organic camu camu extract in powder form—perfect for supplement brands, skincare companies, or anyone wanting to add a vitamin C boost to their products.

6. Package

Consumer Sizes: 100g/250g resealable foil bags (light-proof to protect vitamin C) or 30-serving powder tubs with a scoop (easy for home use)
Bulk Sizes: 25kg food-grade drums (lined with food-safe plastic—27 drums per tray; includes desiccants to keep moisture out and preserve freshness)

7. Main Market

Global—North America (superfood smoothies, vitamin C supplements, wellness shots), Europe (natural skincare, organic food products), Asia (functional drinks, anti-aging serums). It’s especially popular with health-conscious consumers, vegan brands, and companies focusing on “clean label” ingredients.

8. Applications & Main Benefits

Camu camu extract’s claim to fame is its sky-high vitamin C content, but it also has antioxidants like anthocyanins and flavonoids. Here’s how it’s used across industries:

Food & BeveragesSmoothies & Juices: Add 1–2 tsp to fruit smoothies or green juices (boosts vitamin C without overpowering other flavors—pairs great with pineapple or mango)
Food & BeveragesSmoothies & Juices: Add 1–2 tsp to fruit smoothies or green juices (boosts vitamin C without overpowering other flavors—pairs great with pineapple or mango)
Energy Bars & Snacks: Mixed into granola bars or fruit chews (adds nutrition and a subtle berry tang—no artificial sweeteners needed)
Functional Drinks: Stirred into electrolyte drinks or herbal teas (supports immunity and hydration—perfect for post-workout or cold seasons)
Dietary SupplementsVitamin C Capsules: 500mg–1000mg per serving (a natural alternative to synthetic vitamin C—easier on the stomach)
Immunity Blends: Paired with elderberry or zinc (creates powerful immune support supplements—popular during flu season)
Vegan Formulas: A staple in vegan multivitamins (delivers vitamin C without animal-derived ingredients)
SkincareAntioxidant Serums: 3%–5% extract in facial serums (fights free radicals, brightens dull skin, and reduces fine lines—gentler than synthetic vitamin C for sensitive skin)
Face Masks: Mixed into clay or hydrating masks (calms redness and boosts collagen production—leaves skin glowing)
Body Lotions: Added to daily moisturizers (protects skin from environmental damage and keeps it soft)

Pro Tip: Camu camu extract’s vitamin C is more stable than synthetic versions, but it still breaks down in direct sunlight. Store it in a cool, dark place—your future self (and your skin!) will thank you.

Why Camu Camu Extract Stands Out

Unlike synthetic vitamin C, camu camu extract has a whole suite of nutrients that work together—vitamin C, antioxidants, and amino acids—so your body absorbs it better. It’s also sustainably sourced from Amazon communities (when you buy from reputable suppliers), making it an eco-friendly choice. Plus, that natural berry flavor means you don’t need to add artificial flavors to products—win-win!

Quick Safety Notes

It’s generally safe for most people, but if you have a citrus allergy (camu camu is in the myrtle family, related to citrus), test a small amount first. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should check with a doctor—vitamin C is safe, but it’s always good to confirm dosage. And skip mega-doses—stick to 1000mg–2000mg of vitamin C daily (from extract) to avoid mild diarrhea.
