Ellagic Acid

Product Overview

Ellagic Acid is a potent, naturally occurring polyphenol renowned for its significant antioxidant properties. Extracted from the nutrient-rich peels of pomegranates (Punica granatum), our Ellagic Acid is a high-purity, scientifically standardized powder designed for brands seeking premium, plant-derived ingredients. Its robust performance and excellent stability profile make it a premier choice for product developers across the dietary supplement, cosmetic, and functional food industries who are committed to creating high-efficacy products backed by science.

This ingredient is not merely a commodity; it is engineered for formulators who demand precision, reliability, and unparalleled purity to achieve consistent, predictable results in their finished goods. We understand that in a competitive market, the quality of your raw materials directly translates to the success of your brand.

• Guaranteed Potency: We standardize our Ellagic Acid to a minimum of 90% purity, confirmed by the industry’s gold-standard HPLC testing method. This guarantees you receive a potent and reliable active ingredient in every order.
• Consistent Quality: Produced in a state-of-the-art, GMP-certified facility, our process ensures exceptional batch-to-batch consistency in purity, particle size, and color, minimizing production variables for you.
• Enhanced Formulatability: With a finely controlled particle size profile, our Ellagic Acid offers superior handling, blending, and dispersion characteristics in various application systems, from direct compression tablets to complex emulsions.
• Reliable Supply Chain: As the direct manufacturer, we provide a fully traceable and stable supply chain, offering you the confidence and reliability needed for long-term production planning and market growth.

Packaging, Storage, and Shelf Life

• Standard Packaging: 25kg net weight in a robust, export-quality fiber drum, sealed with double food-grade polyethylene (PE) inner liners to protect product integrity. Custom packaging is available upon request for bulk orders.
• Storage Conditions: To maintain optimal quality, store in a cool (<25°C), dry, and dark environment, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and strong odors. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
• Shelf Life: 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored under the recommended conditions.

Testing and Quality Assurance

Our commitment to quality is validated by a rigorous testing protocol centered on High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). This advanced analytical technique is the definitive gold standard for accurately identifying and quantifying Ellagic Acid content. Unlike less precise UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods, which can be skewed by other polyphenols, HPLC separates each compound, ensuring that the 90% purity on our COA is an accurate reflection of the active molecule.

Our production facility is GMP-certified, and we maintain comprehensive documentation to support your quality and regulatory needs. As the original manufacturer and exporter, we offer full transparency and can provide a complete file of documents to streamline your supplier qualification process.

Available Documentation:

• Certificate of Analysis (COA) specific to each batch
• Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
• Allergen Statement
• Non-GMO & Non-Irradiation Statement
• Halal & Kosher certification status is available upon request.

Applications & Formulation Guidance

Our high-purity Ellagic Acid is designed for versatility and performance in a range of demanding applications.

For Dietary Supplements:

An excellent choice for capsules, tablets, and powder blends focused on antioxidant support, cellular health, and skin wellness from within. Its high concentration allows for potent, low-dose formulations that are more cost-effective and consumer-friendly.

• Recommended Use Level: 50 mg – 250 mg per serving.
• Formulation Note: The controlled particle size and good flowability make it suitable for direct compression tableting and automated encapsulation processes, reducing the need for additional excipients.

For Skincare Formulations:

A key active ingredient for advanced skincare products—including serums, creams, lotions, and masks—targeting a brighter, more even skin tone and providing robust antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.

• Recommended Use Level: 0.2% – 1.0%.
• Formulation Note: Ellagic Acid has low water solubility. For optimal incorporation, we recommend dispersing it in the heated oil phase of an emulsion or creating a pre-slurry in a suitable solvent like propanediol, propylene glycol, or pentylene glycol before adding it to the final formulation at a temperature below 45°C (113°F). It performs best in formulations with a final pH between 4.5 and 6.0.

Formulation Synergies & Compatibility

In skincare formulations, Ellagic Acid exhibits powerful synergistic antioxidant effects when thoughtfully combined with other actives, helping to create a multi-pathway defense system for the skin.

• With Vitamins: Works exceptionally well with Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and its stable derivatives, as well as Tocopherol (Vitamin E), to provide broad-spectrum antioxidant protection.
• With other Antioxidants: Can be paired with Ferulic Acid to enhance its stability and efficacy.
• With Hydrating Agents: It is fully compatible with common humectants and hydrating agents like Hyaluronic Acid, glycerin, and various glycols.

Safety and Compliance Information

This product is intended for use as an ingredient in dietary supplements and cosmetic formulations. It is derived from a natural food source (Punica granatum). The information provided herein is for informational and formulation purposes only and does not constitute a medical claim or an endorsement of any finished product. We strongly advise formulators to consult their regional regulations (e.g., FDA, EFSA, NMPA) to ensure full compliance for their specific application and market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary difference between your 90% HPLC grade and other, less-defined extracts?

A: Our 90% HPLC grade guarantees a very high level of purity and potency of the active Ellagic Acid molecule. The HPLC method ensures this accuracy, which is critical for high-performance products and transparent labeling, unlike less reliable UV testing methods which may overestimate the active content.

Q2: Do you supply directly from the factory?

A: Yes, we are the original manufacturer and global supplier of this Ellagic Acid. This ensures full traceability from raw material to finished powder, consistent quality, competitive pricing, and a stable supply chain for our customers.

Q3: What is the best practice for incorporating this into a water-based cosmetic serum?

A: For a primarily aqueous system, the most effective method is to use a solubilizer or create a pre-dispersion in a glycol like propanediol. Dissolve the Ellagic Acid powder in the glycol first with gentle warming, then add this solution to the water phase. This prevents clumping and ensures homogeneity.

Q4: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and lead time?

A: Our standard MOQ is 25kg. However, we are committed to supporting our clients’ R&D and offer smaller sample quantities (100g – 1kg) for evaluation. Standard lead times are 2-3 weeks, but please contact us for current stock levels and a precise quote.
