Products Description
Natural Ursolic Acid Powder | 98% Purity | For Skincare, Supplements & Pharmaceuticals
Our Ursolic Acid Powder is a premium triterpenoid compound extracted from organic rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis),Through supercritical CO₂ extraction and silica gel column purification, the product is standardized to 98% purity via HPLC verification, presenting as a white to off-white fine powder with strong lipid-regulating, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. It is a core functional ingredient in high-end cosmetics, health supplements, and pharmaceutical formulations globally.
Unlike traditional solvent extraction (which leaves 8-12ppm ethanol residues and destroys active groups), our process operates at 45°C and 320 bar-using food-grade CO₂ as the extraction medium to retain ursolic acid's natural molecular structure (hydroxyl and carboxyl groups intact). The finished product has a subtle herbal aroma, no bitter aftertaste, and excellent stability (tolerates 160°C processing). It offers dual solubility options (oil-soluble standard, water-soluble via cyclodextrin complexation) to fit 98% of B2B formulation scenarios.
Fully compliant with global regulations (FDA 21 CFR §172.510, EU No 1334/2008, USP 47), our ursolic acid powder is free of GMOs, pesticides, and heavy metals (Pb≤0.1ppm). It holds USDA Organic, Kosher, and Vegan certifications, perfectly aligning with "clean label" trends. Trusted by 200+ global brands (including L'Oréal and GNC), we provide full traceability via QR code-tracking from rosemary plantation to finished powder-to ensure regulatory peace of mind.

Product Case Studies
Product Success Cases
Natural Ursolic Acid Powder | 98% Purity
Case 1: European Anti-Aging Cosmetic Brand – Solving Stability & Irritation Issues
Challenge: A French brand's retinol serum faced high irritation (40% user complaints) and poor stability (oxidized in 3 months). Switching to 70% ursolic acid required 5% addition, leading to sticky texture and high costs.
Solution: We supplied 98% ursolic acid, reduced dosage to 2%, blended with ferulic acid (1:0.5) to boost stability. Provided HPLC purity reports, irritation test data (0% sensitization), and EU CosIng certification. Bulk packaging cut logistics costs by 20%.
Result: Serum irritation dropped to 1%, stability extended to 12 months. Sales jumped 85% to €5.2M/year, becoming a top-selling anti-aging product in EU drugstores.
Case 2: US Weight Management Supplement Company – Enhancing Efficacy
Challenge: A US brand's green tea-based capsules had low efficacy (only 3% body fat reduction in 8 weeks), leading to 30% return rates. Low-purity ursolic acid (65%) failed to improve results.
Solution: We supplied 98% ursolic acid, formulated 100mg ursolic acid + 200mg green tea extract (1:2). Provided clinical data (8% body fat reduction) and FDA GRAS documentation to support label claims.
Result: Return rates dropped to 2%, product ranked #3 in US weight management supplements. Annual sales hit $7.8M, up 110% from prior formulation.
Case 3: Chinese Agricultural Enterprise – Improving Drought Resistance
Challenge: A Hebei wheat farmer faced 40% yield loss due to drought. Ordinary plant growth regulators had short-term effects and chemical residues, failing EU export standards.
Solution: We supplied agriculture-grade ursolic acid, recommended 0.15% solution sprayed at jointing stage. Provided residue test data (≤0.01ppm) and EU FEEDAP certification.
Result: Wheat drought resistance increased by 50%, yield improved by 18% to 580kg/acre. Grain met EU export standards, export volume doubled to 1,200 tons/year.
