Azeleic acid

Synonyms: Nonanedioic acid, 1,7-Heptanedicarboxylic acid, Lepargylic acid, Anchoic acid, Emerox 1110

Azelaic acid has become a staple in the personal care and pharmaceutical industries, prized for its dual action against acne and rosacea. Its popularity surged as consumers and formulators sought alternatives to harsh retinoids and antibiotics, driving demand for a well-tolerated, multi-functional active. Today, it appears in prescription creams, OTC serums, and even oral health products, reflecting its versatility.

Chemically, azelaic acid is a saturated dicarboxylic acid with the formula C9H16O4. It occurs naturally in whole grains like wheat, barley, and rye, though commercial production relies on ozonolysis of oleic acid. This synthetic route ensures high purity and consistent supply, independent of agricultural fluctuations.

LyvBio supplies azelaic acid with a minimum assay of 99.0% (HPLC), meeting stringent pharmacopeial standards. Our material is a white to off-white crystalline powder, ideal for topical formulations, and is supported by comprehensive documentation for regulatory submissions.
