What is Fucoxanthin?

Fucoxanthin extract powder is a natural carotenoid that comes mostly from brown algae, like kelp and seaweed. Shaanxi Hongda uses a supercritical CO₂ + ethanol-water combination extraction technology to quickly separate fucoxanthin from algae. They then freeze-dry it at low temperatures. The resultant powder is pale yellow to virtually white, readily soluble in ethanol and oil phases, but exceedingly sensitive to light and must be stored under light-protected, low-temperature settings. 

This raw material exhibits substantial antioxidant activity, helping to regulate lipid metabolism and giving protection against retinal damage caused by blue light.  Due to its high solubility and safety, it is commonly utilized in functional beverages, soft capsules, face creams, serums, and other goods.  Fucoxanthin has passed FDA GRAS and EU Novel Food evaluations and can be immediately utilized in mainstream markets such as Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. 

Advantages of Fucoxanthin:  

1. High purity and low residue: Fucoxanthin has a purity of ≥90% and residual organic solvents of ≤10ppm, according to HPLC. This meets the highest safety standards for food and cosmetics.

2. Stable spectral properties: Low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying stops photo-oxidative degradation, keeping the original absorption peak (λ≈450nm) and antioxidant activity.

3. Micronization Technology: The particles are less than 10 microns in size, which speeds up the dissolving and skin penetration rates. This technology is good for emulsion systems and instant drinks.

4. Multiple Packaging  Sizes: 1kg, 5kg, 25kg, 200kg cartons and drums, all equipped with moisture-proof and light-proof linings. 

5. Full-Chain Quality Control: From algae culture, harvesting, drying to extraction, crystallization, and packaging, the entire process is under GMP monitoring.  HPLC, NMR, and MS testing are conducted before shipment. 

6. Green Process: Supercritical CO₂ extraction considerably minimizes the usage of organic solvents, meeting the needs of green production and sustainable development. 

Product Specification

Main Benefits of Fucoxanthin 

1. Powerful Antioxidant: Fucoxanthin Extract Powder offers an ORAC value as high as 15000µmolTE/100g, efficiently scavenging free radicals, delaying cell aging, and improving overall antioxidant levels. 

2. Regulating Energy Metabolism: Research has shown that brown seaweed extract fucoxanthin can increase the production of mitochondrial uncoupling protein UCP-1, which improves fatty acid oxidation and consumption, making it an excellent choice for weight loss and management formulas.

3. Skin Care and Whitening: According to dermatological research, fucoxanthin can reduce the activity of matrix metalloproteinase MMP-1, hence slowing photoaging caused by ultraviolet light. It is commonly included to anti-wrinkle and spot-fading serums to improve skin elasticity and brightness.

4. Retinal Protection: Brown seaweed extract fucoxanthin from Japanese kelp has a substantial protective effect against retinal cell damage induced by blue light, making it suited as an active ingredient in functional beverages or eye care products. 

5. Application Scenarios 

Functional Beverages and Energy Bars: Enhance antioxidant and metabolic activity, boosting product functionality.  Health supplement capsules/tablets:  A daily intake of 2-4 mg is sufficient to cover the supplementing needs of the general population. 

Skin creams and serums can help strengthen the skin barrier and make fine lines and age spots less noticeable when added to lotions or creams.

Pet nutrition: When given in the right amounts, they can make a dog's or cat's coat shinier and better for their skin.

FAQ: 

1. How pure is fucoxanthin?

We provide three HPLC-tested grades: regular (≥90%), high purity (≥95%), and pharmaceutical grade (≥99%).

2. Do you need light-proof packaging?

Fucoxanone is light-sensitive. Line your boxes with aluminum foil, use light-protected boxes, or vacuum containers, and deliver them out of direct sunlight.

3. How well does it dissolve?

Fucoxanthin Extract Powder dissolves efficiently in ethanol (≥95%), medium-chain triglycerides, and the oil phase. Its solubility in water is quite low (a solubilizer is required). 

4. How much should I take daily?

We recommend 2–4 mg per bottle for energy drinks, 5–10 mg each capsule for health capsules, and 0.1%–0.5% (w/w) for skincare products.

5. Are FDA GRAS and EU Novel Food requirements met?

Fucoxanone is FDA GRAS and EU Novel Food-approved for food and supplements.

6. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)? 

Standard packaging: 1kg minimum order.  Special packaging (e.g., small bottles) can be made upon request, minimum 100g. 

7. Do you supply samples? 

We offer 100g free samples (business credentials and mailing address required).  Samples can be provided for bulk purchases later. 

8. What is the product's shelf life? 

Under circumstances of protection from light, dryness, and low temperature (≤25°C), the shelf life is 24 months. 

9. Can you achieve anhydrous crystallization? 

We may provide anhydrous crystallizing powder (water content ≤0.1%), appropriate for formulas extremely sensitive to moisture. 

10. Do you support OEM? 

We support full OEM services, including packaging design, label printing, and batch number management. Delivery time depends on package complexity.
