Tranexamic Acid 98% HPLC Cosmetic Grade – Plasmin Inhibitor for Brightening Formulas

White crystalline powder, freely water-soluble, ≥98% HPLC, single impurity ≤0.5%.

Product Overview

HERSONCARE Tranexamic Acid 98% (INCI: Tranexamic Acid, CAS 1197-18-8) is a cosmetic-grade active supplied as a white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water and practically insoluble in ethanol. It is used in brightening serums, essences, creams and post-procedure care targeting melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Two technical points separate this grade from a generic listing. First, the specification is ≥98.0% HPLC with single impurity ≤0.5% — the correct standard for topical cosmetic use. Pharmaceutical grade at ≥99.0% and single impurity ≤0.1% adds drug GMP documentation and cost without a formulation benefit, because TXA acts as a surface-active agent in the epidermis. Second, the mechanism is often mislabelled: TXA is a plasmin inhibitor, not a tyrosinase inhibitor. It blocks plasminogen-to-plasmin conversion in keratinocytes, reducing arachidonic acid and PGE2 release, intercepting the melanogenesis signal before tyrosinase upregulation. This upstream position is why it complements rather than duplicates alpha-arbutin or kojic acid.

Supplied in 25 kg drums with moisture-proof lining, 1 kg to 25 kg custom packaging, MOQ 25 kg. Pairs with Natural Antioxidants and Sodium Hyaluronate for brightening-plus-hydration systems.

Technical Specifications

Identity and Purity

Appearance: white crystalline powder, almost tasteless. Solubility: freely soluble in water; practically insoluble in ethanol, acetone and chloroform. Assay: 98.0–101.0% (HPLC, C18 column, 220 nm). Cosmetic grade purity: ≥98.0% HPLC, single impurity ≤0.5%. pH (5% solution): 6.0–8.0. Loss on drying: ≤0.5%. Sulphated ash: ≤0.1%.

Impurity and Safety Profile

Related substances: RRT 1.5 ≤0.2%, RRT 2.1 ≤0.1%, any other individual ≤0.1%, total ≤0.5%. Chlorides: ≤140 ppm. Heavy metals: ≤10 ppm; arsenic ≤2 ppm. Each batch ships with a full HPLC chromatogram, impurity profile and microbiological results on the COA.

Stability and Storage

pH stability: stable across pH 3.0–8.0; optimal formulation window pH 5.0–7.0. Thermal/storage: 3 years from manufacture in sealed packaging at 15–25°C, protected from moisture and light. Aqueous formulations are prone to time-dependent discolouration; pH control and light-protective packaging are the primary mitigations.

Product Features and Advantages

Upstream Plasmin Inhibition, Not Another Tyrosinase Blocker

TXA works at Stage 1 of the melanin cascade: it competitively blocks lysine-binding sites on plasminogen, preventing plasmin-driven arachidonic acid and PGE2 release that would otherwise upregulate tyrosinase. This addresses the inflammatory trigger behind PIH and melasma before pigment production begins — a mechanism no tyrosinase inhibitor replicates. It is a rational partner for alpha-arbutin or niacinamide, not a substitute.

Clinical Equivalence to Hydroquinone With Better Tolerance

A split-face RCT comparing 3% TXA cream with 4% hydroquinone over 8 weeks found no statistically significant difference in mMASI improvement. Hydroquinone carries risks of paradoxical hyperpigmentation and exogenous ochronosis with prolonged use, and comparative data show higher erythema and irritation rates with HQ, with patient satisfaction favouring TXA. For brands formulating away from hydroquinone, this is a defensible clinical basis.

98% HPLC Is the Right Grade for Topical Use

Cosmetic grade at ≥98% HPLC with single impurity ≤0.5% is the appropriate specification. Pharmaceutical grade at ≥99% adds drug GMP overhead without changing surface plasmin inhibition in the epidermis. The cost difference is real; the formulation benefit is not, unless the target market mandates pharma-grade documentation.

Formulation-Ready Water Solubility

Freely water-soluble, added directly to the water phase. Stable across pH 3.0–8.0, working recommendation pH 5.0–7.0. Compatible with niacinamide, vitamin C derivatives and alpha-arbutin, subject to pH management where strong acids are present.

Why HERSONCARE

  • HPLC chromatogram and single-impurity data stated per batch, not only assay.
  • Technical support on pH window, discolouration mitigation and water-phase addition.
  • Brightening portfolio including Natural Antioxidants and Sodium Hyaluronate.

How to Use Tranexamic Acid

Serums, Essences and Toners

  1. Dissolve: add 2%–5% to the water phase under gentle agitation; warm water at 40–50°C speeds dissolution.
  2. Set pH: formulate to pH 5.5–7.0 after all actives are added; avoid dropping below pH 5 without buffering.
  3. Protect from light and oxygen: use opaque or UV-protective packaging and a chelating agent where trace metals are present.
  4. Validate stability: run accelerated testing and monitor colour and assay through shelf life.

Creams and Lotions

  1. Add to the water phase before emulsification, or post-emulsification below 50°C.
  2. Confirm compatibility with the preservative system and anionic emulsifiers.
  3. Check colour after thermal cycling — aqueous TXA systems brown over time.

Post-Procedure and Spot Treatments

  1. Use at 2%–5% for targeted application with pH adjusted for compromised skin.
  2. Combine with soothing agents such as Plant Extract where barrier tolerance is a concern.

Application Scenarios

Brightening Serums and Essences

Concentrated water-based formats for melasma, sun spots and PIH. Pairs with Sodium Hyaluronate for hydration alongside tone correction.

Daily Brightening Creams

Leave-on emulsions for maintaining even tone and preventing new pigmentation, formulated at pH 5.5–7.0 for daily use on sensitive skin.

Post-Acne and Post-Procedure Care

Targets PIH and procedure-induced redness through upstream plasmin inhibition. The anti-inflammatory component supports barrier-recovery formats.

Multi-Active Anti-Aging Formulas

Combines with peptides, niacinamide and Natural Antioxidants for pigmentation, texture and oxidative stress in one system.

Benefits for Customers

A Hydroquinone Alternative With Clinical Backing

3% TXA matches 4% hydroquinone on mMASI at 8 weeks, with fewer irritation complaints and no ochronosis risk.

No Pharma-Grade Premium for Topical Use

98% HPLC with ≤0.5% single impurity is sufficient for cosmetic actives; 99% pharma grade adds cost, not epidermal performance.

Formulation Simplicity

Water-soluble, stable across pH 3–8, compatible with common brightening partners. No solubiliser step required.

Documentation for PIF and Market Filings

COA with HPLC chromatogram, impurity profile, heavy metals and microbiological data, plus MSDS and TDS.

Flexible MOQ

MOQ 25 kg, 1 kg to 25 kg packaging. T/T payment; FOB, CIF, DDU, DDP and express delivery from Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou.

Certifications and Compliance

  • Quality: ISO 9001 certified manufacturing.
  • Cosmetic compliance: INCI-listed; REACH, Halal and Kosher documentation on request.
