Description

6-o-Caffeoylarbutin is a high-purity, synthetically derived phenolic glycoside compound, recognized for its potent antioxidant and skin-brightening properties. This advanced active ingredient is engineered to offer superior stability and efficacy compared to its precursor molecules, making it a critical component in high-performance formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for developing premium skincare products targeting hyperpigmentation and photoaging.

Application

• Skin Brightening & Whitening Cosmetics: A key active in serums, creams, and lotions designed to inhibit melanin production and reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.
• Anti-Aging Formulations: Used in products aimed at combating oxidative stress and protecting skin from environmental damage, thereby reducing wrinkles and improving skin elasticity.
• Pharmaceutical Topical Preparations: Incorporated into medicated creams or gels for conditions like melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Functional Personal Care: An ingredient in high-end soaps, body washes, and sun care products for added antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard or biochemical tool in pharmacological and dermatological research for studying tyrosinase inhibition and antioxidant pathways.

Quality Control

Our 6-o-Caffeoylarbutin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, heavy metal screening, and microbiological examination, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for cosmetic and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and safety parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
