Description
Resveratrol (CAS 501-36-0, EC 610-504-8, formula C14H12O3) is a naturally occurring polyphenol stilbene found in grapes, berries, and certain plant sources. It is commercially identified as trans-Resveratrol or (E)-Resveratrol and carries no assigned E-code. It is classified under HS code 29072900.
In personal care formulations, trans-Resveratrol functions as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting oxidative chain reactions that degrade skin lipids and active ingredients. It also absorbs UV-induced reactive species, supporting photoprotection in sunscreen and anti-aging products. In food and nutraceutical applications, it serves as an antioxidant stabilizer to extend shelf life of lipid-containing matrices.
Resveratrol is supplied as an off-white to tan powder in cosmetic and food-grade specifications, with purity levels typically confirmed by HPLC. The substance is registered under REACH and complies with EU cosmetic ingredient regulations. Packaging is available in standard laboratory and bulk quantities to suit formulation and production requirements.
