Tranexamic Acid Applications

Tranexamic Acid is a versatile active used in both cosmetic and medical-adjacent settings. Some of its key application areas include:

Skin care & pigmentation correction

It helps inhibit melanin production and is used to treat hyperpigmentation, melasma, and age spots. It can be included in serums, creams, or face masks.

Dermatological & aesthetic treatments

Used in topical formulations (e.g. injectable or microneedling-adjacent serums) to reduce redness, lighten uneven skin tone, and support post-procedure recovery.

A special note: For injectable tranexamic acid, botulinum toxin testing is mandatory.

Pharmaceutical & Hemostasis Support

Tranexamic Acid acts as an antifibrinolytic agent to inhibit bleeding (by blocking plasminogen binding), and can be used in formulations or medical-adjacent products that require controlled hemostatic behavior.

Research & Laboratory Grade Active

High-purity Tranexamic Acid is used in lab-grade or reference-standard preparations for assays, stability tests, or as raw material for further derivatives.

Cosmetic Formulation Enhancer

Beyond brightening, it also contributes anti-inflammatory benefits in creams, masks, and lotions — helping reduce post-inflammation pigmentation (PIH) following acne or irritation.

Storage & Handling

Store in a cool, dry place in sealed containers, protected from moisture and light.

Usage Guidelines

Use typical concentration of 0.5 %–5 % in leave-on skin care products (subject to regulation).
Patch testing recommended before topical application.
Maintain formulation pH around 5.0-7.0 for stability and skin compatibility.
Avoid combining with strong oxidizers or pH-destabilizing agents.
Conduct stability and irritation testing at your intended concentration under expected storage conditions.

Packaging

25 kg or 50 kg drums, or customized packaging according to customer requirements.
