Description

Glucamine (CAS 488-43-7 ) is an amino sugar alcohol used across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutritional applications as a pH buffer, chelating agent, and humectant. It is the free amine base form commonly encountered in API salt formation and topical formulation chemistry. In pharmaceuticals, this compound is used to form salt complexes with acidic active ingredients, improving solubility and bioavailability in oral and injectable drug products. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into moisturizing creams and serums where it buffers pH levels. It simultaneously binds trace metal ions that would otherwise destabilize the formulation. In skin care, its humectant function supports water retention in the stratum corneum, making it relevant for leave-on products targeting dry or sensitive skin. Food and nutritional supplement manufacturers use it as a processing aid and buffering component in mineral delivery systems. The material is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder for various industrial uses. It is available in pharmaceutical-grade specifications aligned with research and API manufacturing requirements. This ensures the material meets the rigorous demands of the healthcare sector and specialized chemical synthesis. The product is also offered as technical-grade material for industrial cosmetic production. Packaging typically ranges from kilogram-scale laboratory quantities to multi-kilogram bulk for commercial manufacturing needs. Contact us for supply of Glucamine Request Quote
