Key findings

  1. 01 In an in-vitro study, water and ethanol extracts of juniper fruit demonstrated strong antioxidant activity, inhibiting linoleic acid peroxidation by 73% to 93% at concentrations of 20, 40, and 60 µg/mL.
  2. 02 Another in-vitro study using water extracts showed moderate to potent inhibitory activity against bacterial triggers of inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis) and certain cancer cell lines (HeLa, CaCo2) with IC50 values between 1300-2500 µg/mL.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The CIR Expert Panel determined insufficient data to assess the safety of Juniperus Communis Fruit Extract for cosmetic use. While large oral doses in animal studies showed effects on fertility, dermal tests on juniper oils generally showed no irritation, though juniper tar showed some sensitization. Terpinen-4-ol, a component of juniper volatile oil, is known to be an irritant. However, Juniperus Communis Fruit Water is a milder hydrosol form compared to concentrated extracts or essential oils. Juniperus communis berry oil is FDA GRAS for food consumption.
