Fragraea fragrans fruits are locally named Buah Tembesu, belongs to Loganiaceae family. Those can be harvested two times a year, in May and in November. The major secondary metabolites of the fruits are ursolic acid and its isomer oleanolic acids (3.1% accounted from the dried ones). In order to develop these fruits to become topical herbal cosmetic products for skincare, the bioactive compounds of the fruits have been mapped to consider their side effects as well as their efficacy. Eleven compounds have been successfully identified with LCMS/MS from the filtrates of the methanol extracts of the fruits after the solid crystals of ursolic acid and its isomer oleanolic acid has completely precipitated and their chemical structures were confirmed by comparing their molecular ion peaks to relevant compounds in some of the references, respectively; including the fragment ion peaks patterns. As a result, those compounds were classified into phenyl propanoic, pentacyclic triterpene acids, flavones, phenyl propanoic, and tannin trimer groups.
