Salidroside

Salidroside (CAS 10338-51-9), also known as tyrosol glucoside or rhodosin, is a bioactive glycoside extracted primarily from Rhodiola rosea. It functions as an antioxidant and moisturizing active across cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical formulations. In skincare and personal care, salidroside is incorporated into serums, creams, and toners targeting oxidative stress-related aging and skin barrier support. Nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a standardized Rhodiola extract component in adaptogen capsules.

Pharmaceutical and research-grade buyers source it as a reference standard or active ingredient for stress-response and neuroprotective product development. In food and nutrition formats, it appears in premium supplement blends. Salidroside is supplied as a white to off-white powder, typically standardized to defined purity levels ranging from 98% upward for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. This ensures high performance in sensitive formulations.

Lower-concentration Rhodiola rosea extracts standardized to 1–3% salidroside content are available for nutraceutical and food supplement use. These grades are ideal for bulk manufacturing of dietary products and functional beverages. Both botanical extract grades and isolated high-purity material are commercially available, with documentation supporting cosmetic, food-grade, and research applications. Suppliers provide comprehensive data sheets to ensure regulatory compliance.
