    Tranexamic Acid

    About This Product

    Tranexamic acid is a cyclic analogue of the amino acid lysine, CAS 1197-18-8. This cosmetic-grade white powder has a purity of 99%, determined by UV or HPLC, with residual solvent below 0.05% and limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. It keeps for 2 years and is packed in 1 kg foil bags or 25 kg drums. Formulators use it in leave-on skin care such as serums, essences, creams and masks. Tranexamic acid is freely soluble in water, so it normally goes into the aqueous phase. Tranexamic acid is also the active substance of authorised medicines; this grade is offered for cosmetic formulation only, not for medicinal products. Before supply, check that this grade is suitable for your formulation and ask for a current batch certificate that reports the assay alongside the impurity and microbiological results.
