Cinnamic Acid Natural Key Features

Naturally sourced, safe and environmentally friendly

Cinnamic acid is extracted from plant tissues, leaving no chemical residues or side effects. It aligns with the trend of natural skincare and green food, offering enhanced safety.

Strong antioxidant activity

Its molecular structure contains phenolic hydroxyl groups and conjugated double bonds, which can effectively scavenge free radicals, inhibit oxidation reactions, and delay product deterioration or skin aging.

Multiple bioactivities

Cinnamic acid natural possesses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities, and can be used to improve the skin barrier, reduce inflammatory responses, and inhibit bacterial growth.

Good stability and easy compatibility

It exhibits good chemical stability in conventional formulation systems and is compatible with a variety of natural plant extracts, vitamins, and preservative systems.

Cinnamic Acid Natural Main Applications

Cosmetics industry

Cinnamic acid natural is widely used in sunscreen, whitening, and anti-aging skincare formulas. Its antioxidant properties help protect the skin from UV rays and free radical damage, delay skin aging, and enhance skin radiance.

Food and beverage preservation

As a natural antioxidant and preservative, this compound effectively inhibits lipid oxidation and extends the shelf life of food. It is commonly used in functional beverages, health supplements, and plant-based foods.

Medicine and nutrition

C9H8O4 has potential pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, liver-protective, and anti-tumor activities, and is used in drug development and nutritional supplement formulations.

Chemical and fragrance intermediates

Due to its carboxyl group and benzene ring structure, it is often used as an important raw material in organic synthesis, used in the manufacture of fragrances, pharmaceutical intermediates, and high-performance resins.

Precautions

1. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures, to prevent oxidation and decomposition.

2. Cinnamic acid natural has a certain reducing property. It may react chemically when mixed with strong oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid. Therefore, it should be stored separately.

3. Wear protective gloves and a mask during operation to avoid inhaling dust or direct contact with skin and eyes. If accidentally contacted, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.

4. During transportation, it should be protected from moisture, shock and exposure to sunlight. It is recommended to use double-layer sealed packaging (plastic inner and paper outer barrel) to ensure stability and purity.

5. In cosmetic or food applications, the amount added should be strictly controlled (usually 0.1%-1%) to ensure a balance between safety and efficacy.

FAQ

1. Will cinnamic acid natural irritate the skin when used in skincare formulations?

Generally, no. Its irritation level is far lower than that of chemical preservatives, but skin sensitivity testing is still recommended before mass production.

2. Is this compound soluble in water? Can it be used in water-based systems?

Its solubility in water is limited. It is recommended to use a co-solvent such as ethanol or vegetable glycerin to improve solubility and formulation stability.
