Product Description
Our Pelargonidin Chloride powder is a high-purity natural anthocyanidin active pigment, available in 98% and 99% HPLC grades. Pelargonidin chloride (CAS 134-04-3), commonly known as, is a fundamental flavylium chloride anthocyanidin compound widely present in geraniums, red berries and various colored flowers. As a core natural orange-red plant pigment, it features unique color expression and excellent multi-dimensional biological activity, integrating natural coloring, high-efficiency anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-tumor functions. It is extensively applied in clean-label natural food coloring, antioxidant skincare, functional health supplements and biomedical pharmacological research. As a professional bulk Pelargonidin chloride supplier, we provide high-purity, stable-batch and fully compliant products for global industrial and scientific research clients.
Pelargonidin chloride belongs to the anthocyanidin family of flavonoids, possessing a typical tetrahydroxyflavylium structure. Compared with other anthocyanins, it presents a distinctive bright orange-red color in acidic environments with superior color saturation and thermal stability, making it an ideal natural substitute for synthetic red and orange food colorants. In terms of biological activity, Pelargonidin chloride efficiently scavenges reactive oxygen free radicals, inhibits lipid peroxidation and cellular oxidative damage, and activates endogenous antioxidant defense systems. It also blocks NF-κB inflammatory pathways, relieves chronic low-grade inflammation, and exhibits significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of various tumor cells, including skin, breast and colon cancer cells. Additionally, it improves skin microcirculation, resists photoaging, and regulates lipid metabolism, owning high application value in beauty care and sub-health improvement.

Functions & Benefits
Natural Orange-Red Coloring (Core Benefit)
Pelargonidin chloride is a classic natural anthocyanidin pigment, presenting bright and uniform orange-red color in acidic systems. It has excellent acid resistance and thermal stability, not easy to fade or discolor during conventional food processing and storage. It can perfectly replace synthetic colorants, helping brands create clean-label, natural and healthy product formulas, fitting the global consumer trend of natural food additives.
High-Efficiency Antioxidant & Anti-Aging
Pelargonidin chloride delivers powerful free radical scavenging capacity, effectively eliminating DPPH, ABTS and superoxide anion free radicals in the body and skin. It inhibits cellular lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage, reduces long-term oxidative stress aging, activates the body’s antioxidant system, and maintains cell vitality and skin youthful state.
Broad-Spectrum Anti-Inflammatory Activity
This natural anthocyanidin significantly inhibits the activation of NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway and reduces the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It relieves acute and chronic inflammatory reactions of skin and internal tissues, improves skin redness, sensitivity and inflammatory damage, and alleviates body low-grade inflammation, achieving mild and efficient anti-inflammatory regulation.
Broad-Spectrum Anti-Tumor & Cell Apoptosis Induction
Modern pharmacological studies confirm that Pelargonidin chloride has excellent anti-tumor activity. It can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of various tumor cells such as skin cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer, block tumor cell cycle progression, and induce tumor cell apoptosis. With low toxicity to normal human cells, it is a key research compound for anti-tumor auxiliary therapy and oncology mechanism research.
Skin Brightening & Anti-Photoaging
Pelargonidin chloride resists UV-induced skin oxidative damage and photoaging, reduces sunburn redness and pigmentation deposition, improves skin dullness and uneven tone, enhances skin barrier tolerance, and effectively delays light-induced skin aging, suitable for anti-aging and brightening skincare formulas.
Lipid Metabolism Regulation & Sub-Health Improvement
It assists in regulating body lipid metabolism, inhibits excessive fat accumulation and oxidative degeneration of lipids, improves metabolic disorder symptoms caused by high-fat diets, and relieves body sub-health problems such as slow metabolism and fat accumulation, providing natural nutritional regulation effects.
