    Azepur99® is supplied as a dry, free-flowing micronized powder. This format gives formulators full flexibility to disperse it in emulsions, pre-solubilise it in a solvent phase, or build clear concentrate solutions, depending on the target product.

    With a typical purity of 99.7 to 99.9%, the remaining fraction consists of related dicarboxylic acids such as pelargonic acid, suberic acid and similar by-products of the production process. This high purity is one of the key quality differentiators of Azepur99®.

    Azepur99® is micronized to a maximum particle size of around 20 micron. The fine, uniform particle size supports easy dispersion in emulsions and stable suspensions, and contributes to a pleasant skin feel in finished formulations.

    Azepur99® has a purity greater than 99% by weight, with a typical purity of 99.7 to 99.9%. This is among the highest purity levels available on the market and meets the requirements for both cosmetic and pharmaceutical-grade azelaic acid (pharmaceutical grade requires a purity above 99%).

    Azepur99® is obtained through oxidative cleavage of the double bond of the oleic chain in the triglyceride of sunflower oil. After several purification steps the material is micro-milled into a fine, free-flowing powder. The result is Azepur99®, a high-purity azelaic acid suitable for personal care products.

    Yes. Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring straight-chain saturated dicarboxylic acid that is present in grains such as rye, wheat and barley. It is also produced naturally on healthy human skin.

    The INCI name is Azelaic Acid. Its CAS number is 123-99-9, the molecular formula is C9H16O4 and the molecular weight is approximately 188.2 g/mol. Azelaic acid is a straight-chain saturated dicarboxylic acid, also known as nonanedioic acid.

    Azepur99® is Azeco's trademarked cosmetic-grade azelaic acid: a free-flowing, micronized white powder with a purity greater than 99%. It is produced from European, high-oleic sunflower oil and is supplied to cosmetic brands, formulators and contract manufacturers for use in skin care, scalp care and hair care products. The pay-off is simple: the highest grade of azelaic acid for skin and hair care, when quality and reliability come first.

    Azelaic acid is positioned as a gentle, sustainable alternative to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. It is multifunctional (covering acne-prone, inflammation-prone, brightening and scalp applications), 100% biobased and palm-free, non-comedogenic and well tolerated. For brands looking to develop a clean, sustainable active story, it offers a compelling alternative to more aggressive ingredients.

    Yes. Azelaic acid has antioxidant properties, which adds to its appeal as a multifunctional active in skin-care formulations.

    Azelaic acid is not limited to Acne vulgaris. Studies indicate it is also effective on other forms, for example hidradenitis suppurativa (Acne inversa). Effectiveness depends on the concentration of azelaic acid in the product. For cosmetic products a concentration up to roughly 14% is generally used, while pharmaceutical products are based on 20%.

    Azelaic acid is a potent 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, the enzyme that converts testosterone into 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is also associated with scalp microbiome normalization and hair re-growth stimulation, which is why it is of interest for scalp and hair-care formulations.

    Azelaic acid supports skin brightening and whitening through tyrosinase inhibition and melanin reduction, the pathways involved in the formation of pigment. This makes it a popular active for products targeting hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.

    Azelaic acid helps balance acne-prone skin through several mechanisms relevant to formulators. It has antibacterial activity that targets specific opportunistic organisms such as Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes) and Staphylococcus epidermidis, it is comedolytic, and it supports sebum regulation. Its activity is limited to opportunistic organisms and does not disturb the commensal skin flora.

    Studies report that azelaic acid at concentrations of approximately 3 to 10% can support hair and scalp formulations. Particularly good results are described when azelaic acid is combined with zinc sulphate and vitamin B6.

    Published data show positive results for skin lightening, brightening and the appearance of dark spots using approximately 3 to 10% by weight of azelaic acid in the formulation.

    Cosmetic products containing roughly 5 to 15% by weight of azelaic acid are commonly used for rosacea-prone and redness-prone skin. As a reference point, FDA-approved pharmaceutical products for rosacea are based on a 15% azelaic acid content. Higher concentrations generally deliver stronger performance.

    For cosmetic products, a concentration of up to about 14 to 15% by weight is generally used, and published studies indicate azelaic acid remains effective for blemish-prone skin at these levels. For reference, pharmaceutical (drug) products approved by the U.S. FDA for acne are based on 20% azelaic acid creams. Generally, the higher the concentration, the stronger the performance of the product.

    The easiest way to start is by requesting a sample kit. You can evaluate our ingredients in your own formulation process, supported by technical documentation and direct contact with our team for formulation and application questions.

    Sustainability is built into how our ingredients are made. Azepur99® is produced from high oleic sunflower oil of European origin, which means a 100% biobased and traceable source. Our microalgae based actives Lady Purple® and TetraGold® are developed through biotechnological processes, with Lady Purple® based on upcycled raw material.

    We work specification driven instead of commodity driven. Azepur99® is a micronized azelaic acid with a consistent purity of 99% or higher and a controlled particle size, which supports predictable performance from batch to batch. Every ingredient is backed by full technical and regulatory documentation, and our team provides direct support for formulation, documentation and logistics questions.

    Azeco Cosmeceuticals was founded to take the uncertainty out of formulating with active ingredients. Variability in purity, inconsistent supply and limited documentation can directly affect formulation stability, performance and timelines. Since 2014 we support formulators, procurement teams and cosmetic brands with high specification active ingredients, reliable global supply and complete technical documentation.
