Ellagic Acid Powder is a highly purified natural polyphenol compound derived primarily from pomegranate (Punica granatum) husks, strawberries, raspberries, or oak galls. Our high-purity ellagic acid is extracted using advanced green chemistry methods that avoid harsh solvents, followed by multiple purification steps to achieve exceptional purity. As a potent antioxidant with unique molecular structure containing four hydroxyl groups and two lactone groups, ellagic acid exhibits remarkable free radical scavenging capacity and metal chelation properties. Its multiple biological activities including anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and photoprotective effects make it valuable for advanced cosmetic and nutraceutical applications.
The manufacturing process employs supercritical CO₂ extraction or water-based extraction followed by acid hydrolysis of ellagitannins to release free ellagic acid. Subsequent purification involves crystallization, solvent washing, and chromatography to achieve ≥98% purity. Special attention is given to particle size reduction and surface modification to improve solubility in cosmetic formulations. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis for purity, heavy metals, and residual solvents, ensuring safety for topical applications. The Ellagic Acid Powder is a fine brown powder with characteristic fluorescence under UV light, offering exceptional antioxidant protection in anti-aging, brightening, and protective skincare formulations.

Benefits
Powerful Antioxidant Protection
It possesses a very high ORAC value (over 10,000 μmol TE/g), demonstrating exceptional capacity to neutralize free radicals and protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
01
UV Damage Defense
It provides support against sun exposure by absorbing UVB radiation and helping to mitigate UV-induced skin damage at the cellular level.
02
Calming & Soothing Action
The extract works by inhibiting key inflammatory pathways (like NF-κB), helping to reduce redness and the production of inflammatory mediators in the skin.
03
Brightening & Tone Correction
It promotes a more even skin tone by effectively inhibiting tyrosinase activity and melanin production, visibly reducing hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
04
Anti-Aging & Firming
Ellagic Acid Powder helps combat signs of aging by protecting the skin's structural proteins-collagen and elastin-from enzymatic breakdown, thereby maintaining firmness and elasticity.
05
Application Fields
High-Potency Serums: Antioxidant serums for advanced anti-aging regimens.
Sun Care Products: Photoprotective formulations and after-sun treatments.
Brightening Treatments: Hyperpigmentation correction products.
Anti-Acne Formulations: Combines antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Professional Treatments: Medical-grade skincare and clinical peels.
Nutraceuticals: Oral supplements for skin health from within.
Combination Products: Paired with vitamin C, E, ferulic acid for synergistic effects.

FAQ
Q: Why is ellagic acid difficult to formulate with?
A: Its very low water solubility presents formulation challenges. Solutions include: using alkaline solutions to form soluble salts, employing solubilizers (cyclodextrins, phospholipids), nanoemulsion technology, or using it in anhydrous systems.
Q: What concentration is effective in cosmetics?
A: Typically 0.1-1.0% in final formulations. Even low concentrations provide significant antioxidant benefits due to its high potency.
Q: Can Ellagic Acid Powder be used with vitamin C?
A: Yes, they work synergistically. Ellagic acid stabilizes vitamin C and both provide complementary antioxidant mechanisms. Formulate at appropriate pH for compatibility.
Q: Is it photostable?
A: Ellagic acid has good photostability and actually provides photoprotection by absorbing UVB. However, like most antioxidants, it should be protected from excessive light during storage.
Q: What's the difference between ellagic acid and ellagitannins?
A: Ellagitannins are larger molecules that hydrolyze to release ellagic acid. Ellagic acid is the active aglycone form with more consistent bioavailability in topical applications.
Q: Do you offer private labeling services?
A: Yes, we provide comprehensive private labeling and OEM services, including custom packaging solutions to support your brand development.
