Product Description
Our Vanillin powder is a high-purity natural aromatic phenolic active ingredient, reaching 99% pharmacopoeia-grade HPLC purity. Vanillin (CAS 121-33-5), also known is the core flavor substance of natural vanilla beans, featuring a classic elegant vanilla aroma and mild multifunctional biological activity. As one of the most widely used natural flavoring ingredients globally, it integrates pure fragrance fixation, mild antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties. It is extensively applied in high-end food flavoring, cosmetic fragrance modulation, daily chemical products and pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis. As a professional bulk Vanillin supplier, we provide low-impurity, high-aroma, stable-quality Vanillin raw materials for global food processing enterprises, cosmetic brands and scientific research institutions.
Vanillin belongs to the aromatic phenolic compound family, with distinct functional differentiation from previously launched polyphenols, phenylpropanoids and allyl phenolic products such as Procyanidin, Acetyleugenol and 2-Allylphenol. While plant polyphenols focus on anti-aging and antioxidant skincare, and allyl phenols specialize in industrial synthesis modification, Vanillin takes natural fragrance performance as its core advantage, supplemented by mild antioxidant and soothing efficacy. It possesses excellent fragrance coordination and long-lasting fixing ability, can harmonize various floral and fruity fragrances, cover raw material peculiar odors, and significantly improve product odor grade. Its mild phenolic activity also enables auxiliary skin protection and formula anti-oxidation stabilization, forming a unique flavor + efficacy dual-functional application system.
Manufactured by Shaanxi BAISFU Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd., our premium Vanillin powder adopts natural vanilla bean low-temperature extraction and multi-stage recrystallization high-precision purification technology. We select high-quality mature vanilla bean raw materials with rich aroma components, completely remove plant impurities, residual pigments and irregular crystal components through gradient purification and fine filtration, and fully retain the pure natural vanilla fragrance and stable phenolic activity of Vanillin. The entire production process excludes harmful chemical residues and synthetic additives, fully complying with food-grade, cosmetic-grade and pharmacopoeia-grade safety standards. The refined purification technology solves the defects of impure odor, easy oxidation and unstable activity of ordinary industrial-grade Vanillin, ensuring uniform crystal appearance, pure and lasting fragrance, and excellent batch consistency.
Every batch of Vanillin powder undergoes strict multi-dimensional quality inspection, including HPLC high-precision purity testing, spectral characteristic verification, NMR structural identification and mass spectrometry molecular confirmation to ensure accurate molecular structure and 99% ultra-high purity. The finished product features white crystal appearance, pure and mellow vanilla aroma, good water and alcohol solubility, and ultra-mild safety properties. All products comply with international food additive regulations and cosmetic raw material safety specifications, supporting safe and standardized application in food flavoring, daily fragrance blending, mild skincare and pharmaceutical synthesis research.
We maintain sufficient inventory and complete qualification documents for bulk Vanillin supply. Whether you need high-purity natural flavor fixing raw materials for food and daily chemical products, mild antioxidant soothing additives for skincare formulas, or standard phenolic monomers for pharmaceutical intermediate research, our Vanillin powder is a cost-effective and high-value bulk raw material choice for global buyers.
Functions & Benefits
Pure Natural Vanilla Flavor & Fragrance Fixing (Core Benefit)
Vanillin has a classic and elegant natural vanilla fragrance with soft and lasting aroma.
