Amygdalin
Description
Amygdalin (CAS 29883-15-6), also referenced commercially as D-Amygdalin, is a naturally derived cyanogenic glycoside extracted primarily from bitter almond kernels and apricot seeds.
It functions as a bioactive botanical ingredient in cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical formulations where antioxidant activity and skin-conditioning properties are the target outcome.
In personal care, amygdalin is incorporated into facial serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging creams where it contributes humectant and antioxidant benefits to the finished formulation.
Nutraceutical manufacturers use it as an active botanical extract in capsule and tablet formats targeting wellness supplement lines for various industrial and commercial applications.
Pharmaceutical and research-grade buyers source it as a reference standard or active ingredient for investigational preparations. Cosmetic formulators also apply it in hair care products.
Seed-derived actives are positioned as premium natural ingredients in the global market. Amygdalin is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder for industrial use.
It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with high-purity grades commonly required for research and pharmaceutical procurement processes.
Packaging ranges from small research quantities to kilogram-scale commercial orders depending on application. The material meets rigorous internal quality standards for global distribution.
