Product Description

Aminolevulinic Acid HCl (5-ALA HCl) is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that serves as a precursor in heme biosynthesis. In cosmetic applications, this water-soluble active is metabolized to Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), a photosensitizing compound that interacts with specific light therapies for skin rejuvenation and acne treatment.

Our Cosmetic Grade Aminolevulinic Acid HCl is produced via microbial fermentation and ion exchange purification, meeting ≥98% purity (HPLC). It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with excellent water solubility (>500 mg/mL).

Quick Details

Key Characteristics

Fermentation-Derived — Produced through microbial fermentation using genetically engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum, ensuring consistent quality and high purity.

Water-Soluble Active — Excellent aqueous solubility makes it easy to incorporate into serums, toners, and gel-based formulations without special solubilizers.

Photosensitizing Precursor — In specific professional applications, 5-ALA is metabolized to PpIX, which accumulates intracellularly and interacts with specific light wavelengths.

Light-Sensitive — Requires protection from light during storage and formulation; finished products should use opaque packaging.
