Disodium azelate

Disodium azelate (CAS 17265-13-3), the disodium salt of azelaic acid, is a water-soluble buffering agent used in personal care and pharmaceutical formulations.

Where is Disodium azelate used?

• Personal care: pH stabilization in aqueous systems where the free acid form presents solubility challenges
• Topical pharmaceuticals: buffering component in creams and gels targeting skin conditions where azelaic acid is the active ingredient
• Cosmetics: incorporated into serums and emulsions to maintain target pH ranges while contributing skin-conditioning benefits associated with the azelate anion
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: intermediate in synthesis workflows requiring a neutralized, salt-form dicarboxylate starting material
• Aqueous-based personal care systems sensitive to acidic excipients benefit from its buffering capacity without the low-pH handling concerns of the parent acid.

Commercial specifications

• Pharmaceutical-grade material meets purity requirements aligned with formulation-grade standards
• Packaging from laboratory quantities to bulk orders for industrial formulation batches
