Cosmetic Ingredients
Azelaic Acid
Azelaic Acid is mild linear dicarboxylic acid crystal powder exclusively for cosmetics. It inhibits Propionibacterium acnes and Malassezia, unclogs keratin pores and reversibly inhibits tyrosinase to fade dark acne marks. Much milder than AHA/BHA acids. HPLC purity reaches 99% / 99.5%, strictly tested for heavy metals, residual solvents and microorganisms, fully compliant with EU CosIng & SCCS cosmetic safety standards.
We provide bulk wholesale, acne compound blending and neutral OEM packaging service. Widely used in sensitive acne essence, dark spot cream, oil control lotion and seborrhea scalp care. Complete SDS, COA and CPNP/REACH registration documents are supplied for cross-border cosmetic brand filing.

Formulation Benefits: Why Azelaic Acid Belongs in Your Acne & Brightening Line
Multi-target efficacy with mildness. Azelaic Acid inhibits Cutibacterium acnes and Malassezia, unclogs keratin-plugged pores, and reversibly inhibits tyrosinase to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Significantly lower irritation than AHA/BHA – ideal for sensitive skin and leave-on serums.
Synergistic compounding: Pairs exceptionally well with Niacinamide (brightening boost), Salicylic Acid (exfoliating synergy), and Piroctone Olamine (seborrhea scalp care). We provide compatibility data upon request.
- Ultra-mild: Lower irritation vs. glycolic/salicylic acid – suitable for sensitive skin.
- Dual action: Anti-acne + tyrosinase inhibition for dark spot fading.
- No resistance: No bacterial resistance – safe for long-term use.
- Easy formulation: Dissolves in hot water/ethanol – compatible with hot & cold processing.
- Broad safety margin: EU allows up to 15% – one of the highest among actives.
Formulation Tips: For optimal dissolution, heat water/ethanol to 60-70°C before adding Azelaic Acid. Avoid prolonged heating above 80°C to prevent sublimation. For cold-process formulations, pre-dissolve in propylene glycol or ethoxydiglycol.
