Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid known for its versatile therapeutic and industrial applications. This 99% Purity white powder is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent used extensively in dermatological formulations.

In the cosmetic industry, it is a highly sought-after Skin Brightening Agent due to its ability to inhibit tyrosinase. It effectively addresses hyperpigmentation and acne while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin types in Cosmetic Grade serums.

Industrially, Azelaic Acid serves as a high-performance chemical intermediate. Its Linear Dicarboxylic Structure makes it an essential monomer for producing specialized polymers, high-temperature lubricants, and complex esters used in the rubber industry.

  • Acne and Rosacea Treatments: Active ingredient in pharmaceutical creams (15-20%) used to reduce bacterial growth and inflammation in the pores.
  • Hyperpigmentation Serums: Utilized in skincare products to treat melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation through selective melanocyte inhibition.
  • Polymer Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of Nylon 6,9 and biodegradable plastics, providing enhanced flexibility and thermal resistance.

Generally low toxicity but can cause Mild Skin Irritation and respiratory discomfort if dust is inhaled. Recommended PPE includes Dust Masks, Gloves, and Safety Glasses.
