Stringent quality control procedures are in place to limit heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants, ensuring compliance with international standards for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food – related applications.
Appearance:It appears as a white to off – white powder. The powder has a faint, characteristic herbal aroma and is free – flowing, making it convenient for use in different product formulations.
CAS NO. for Leontopodic Acid: [Provide the accurate CAS number if available; if not, note that it might be a relatively less – known or complex compound with ongoing research regarding a standard CAS assignment].
Lead Time: 3 – 7 Working Days. Minor changes may occur depending on order volume and production capacity. Our well – organized production and logistics systems are designed to ensure prompt delivery.
Package: 25kg/drum, with 27 drums/tray. The drums are made of food – grade materials, protecting the product from moisture, light, and physical damage during storage and transportation. Custom packaging options can be arranged upon request.
Main Market: European, North America, Asia etc. In Europe, especially in alpine countries, edelweiss has cultural and traditional value. In North America and Asia, with the increasing interest in natural, exotic ingredients for health and beauty products, edelweiss leontopodic acid is attracting attention.
Applications
- Health Supplements:
  - Anti – inflammatory: Leontopodic acid shows potential anti – inflammatory properties. It can help reduce inflammation in the body, which may be beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and certain skin inflammations. By inhibiting inflammatory mediators, it can alleviate pain and discomfort.
  - Antioxidant: Acting as an antioxidant, it scavenges free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage. This can contribute to overall health and potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
- Cosmetics:
  - Skin Soothing: Its anti – inflammatory nature makes it effective in calming irritated skin. It can reduce redness, itching, and inflammation associated with skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
  - Anti – aging: By protecting skin cells from oxidative stress, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. It may also enhance skin elasticity. Edelweiss has been used in high – end cosmetics for its perceived anti – aging and skin – protecting properties.
- Food Industry:
  - Currently, its application in the food industry is relatively limited. However, if further research validates its safety and efficacy in a food – related context, there could be potential for it to be used in functional foods. For example, it could be added to certain health – focused beverages or fortified foods to provide potential health benefits. But this would require strict regulatory approvals.
