Ferulic acid

Ferulic acid (CAS 1135-24-6 ) is a plant-derived hydroxycinnamic acid sourced primarily from rice bran, wheat bran, and other cereal crops. It functions as an antioxidant and UV-stabilizing agent across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Its ability to enhance the photostability of other active ingredients makes it a sought-after raw material in premium personal care manufacturing. In cosmetic formulations, it is combined with vitamins C and E to significantly extend efficacy.

This specific pairing is well-established in prestige skincare for antioxidant serums. Food manufacturers incorporate it as a natural antioxidant to protect fats and oils from oxidative degradation in various packaged and processed products.

Pharmaceutical developers use it as a precursor in the synthesis of vanillin and other aromatic compounds. It is also utilized in nutraceutical capsules targeting oxidative stress and general wellness applications for global distribution.

In flavor applications, it contributes subtle phenolic and balsamic notes to certain food and beverage formulations. The material is supplied as an off-white to beige crystalline powder for easy integration into dry or liquid blends.

Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade material, with high-purity pharmaceutical-grade available for nutraceutical use. Our material meets rigorous quality standards including FCC and USP requirements for global compliance.

High-purity options of 98% or greater by HPLC are available for drug formulation use. Packaging typically ranges from kilogram quantities to bulk sacks suited for industrial-scale procurement and long-term supply chain stability.
