Oleanolic Acid Structure

Synonyms: Oleanolic Acid, 3β-Hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, Caryophyllin, Astrantiagenin C, Oleanol, 508-02-1

Oleanolic Acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid acid found in the waxy coatings of many edible plants, including olive leaves, garlic, and rosemary. It is commercially produced by solvent extraction from plant sources followed by purification, and supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a typical assay of ≥98% by HPLC.

Buyers source Oleanolic Acid as a high-purity synthetic or semi-synthetic active for use in oral solid dosage forms, topical creams, and functional cosmetic formulations. The ingredient is valued for its stability and compatibility with common excipients, making it straightforward to incorporate into tablet, capsule, and emulsion systems. It is available in bulk quantities with standard documentation for regulatory and quality review.

Applications & Formulation Use

Oleanolic Acid fits primarily into oral solid dosage forms, where it is compressed into tablets or filled into capsules, often in combination with other botanical extracts or nutraceutical actives. Formulators also use it in topical creams and gels, where its crystalline nature requires micronization or dissolution in suitable solvents to ensure uniform dispersion. In the cosmetics sector, it appears in anti-aging and skin-soothing products, typically at low percentages in oil-in-water emulsions.
