Creatine monohydrate

Creatine Monohydrate (CAS 6020-87-7) is a naturally occurring nitrogenous compound derived from amino acid metabolism, commercially available under trade names including Creapure and also known as N-amidinosarcosine and creatine hydrate. It carries no E-code designation and is classified under HS code 29252000.

In personal care formulations, it functions as a humectant by binding water molecules within the skin matrix and as a buffer to stabilise product pH, particularly in leave-on and rinse-off cosmetic systems. In food and nutraceutical applications, it serves as an active nutritional ingredient supporting cellular energy metabolism in muscle tissue.

Creatine Monohydrate is sourced in food-grade, cosmetic-grade, and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with compliance available against FCC, Ph.Eur., and REACH requirements. It is registered under EC number 611-954-8 and supplied typically in 25 kg bags or fibre drums to meet B2B procurement volumes.
