Applications for Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin Powder Natural Green Pigment

Introduction

Sodium copper chlorophyllin (CAS 28302-36-5) is a semi-synthetic, water-soluble derivative of natural chlorophyll. It is produced by extracting chlorophyll from plant sources such as alfalfa, green leaves, or spirulina, then replacing the central magnesium atom with copper through saponification and copper substitution processes . The result is a dark green, highly water-soluble powder with metallic luster that offers significantly improved stability over natural chlorophyll.

Key Stability Characteristics

Understanding the stability profile of sodium copper chlorophyllin is essential for successful formulation:

The Main Applications

1) Food & Beverage Applications

Sodium copper chlorophyllin (INS 141 / E141) is widely used as a natural green colorant across multiple food categories:

2) Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Applications

Sodium copper chlorophyllin is popular in dietary supplements, typically positioned for:

Detoxification support – may help bind environmental toxins

Digestive health – supports gastrointestinal function

Antioxidant protection – combats oxidative stress

Internal deodorant – FDA-recognized OTC indication for ostomy/ileostomy (100-200 mg/day)

Common Formats:

Liquid drops (e.g., 132 mg sodium copper chlorophyllin per 30 mL serving)

Capsules and tablets

Powder blends for beverages

Typical Dosage Reference: 100–200 mg/day chlorophyllin for internal deodorant use; supplement products vary from 0.01 mg to 150 mg per serving depending on formulation.

Important Note: Sodium copper chlorophyllin is water-soluble and more bioavailable than natural fat-soluble chlorophyll. Products containing chlorophyllin may color stool and urine green – this is normal.

3) Cosmetic & Personal Care Applications

Sodium copper chlorophyllin's antioxidant, skin-soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties make it valuable in cosmetics:

Common Formats:

Toothpaste and oral care products (green formulations)

Facial cleansers and creams

Sheet masks and serums

Natural color cosmetics

Bath and body products

Formulation Considerations:

For products with pH <6, pre-dissolve in a small amount of alkaline buffer

Store finished products in light-protected containers

Consider using chelating agents to protect against metal ion interference

4) Pharmaceutical Applications

Tablet and capsule coating – natural green colorant

Wound healing formulations – promotes gastrointestinal ulcer healing

Liver support – supports liver function

Antibacterial applications – effective against certain bacterial strain
