Description
Pyridoxol (CAS 65-23-6), also known by the trade names Adermin, Hydroxin, Bezatin, Gravidox, and Adermine, is the alcohol form of vitamin B6. It carries no assigned E-code and is registered under EC 200-603-0 with the molecular formula C8H11NO3.
In personal care formulations, pyridoxol functions as a skin and hair conditioner by supporting cellular metabolism at the follicle level, and its antioxidant activity helps neutralise free radicals that degrade formula stability. In food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, it serves as a heat stabiliser, protecting active compounds during processing at elevated temperatures.
Pyridoxol is available in pharmaceutical-grade form compliant with Ph.Eur. and USP monographs, as well as food-grade material meeting FCC specifications. It is fully registered under REACH and classified under HS code 29362500. Standard packaging includes 25 kg fibre drums, with smaller quantities available on request.
