Syringic Acid: Phenolic Compound for Antioxidant-Enhanced Skincare & Hair Formulations

Molecular Identity

• Chemical Name (INCI): Syringic Acid
• Molecular Formula: C₉H₁₀O₅
• Source: Naturally present in grapes, olives, and various medicinal plants as a methylated phenolic acid

Function & Applications

Syringic Acid is a plant-derived aromatic acid used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its antioxidant stability and mild skin-conditioning profile. Structurally related to gallic acid, it serves as a powerful support molecule in formulations that require enhanced oxidative defense and formulation shelf life:

• Antioxidant Support: Helps protect formulations from oxidative degradation
• Free Radical Scavenging: Acts as a natural defense component in skin and scalp systems
• Formula Stabilizer: Enhances stability of emulsions, especially in active-rich blends
• Skin-Soothing Co-Active: Complements calming and barrier-supporting systems

Applications include: antioxidant creams, scalp protection serums, leave-on conditioners, prebiotic emulsions, and protective day care products. Delivered in bulk format for industrial formulation and scale-up.

Typical Usage & Dosage

• Emulsions and serums: 0.05–0.3%
• Hair/scalp care and leave-ons: up to 0.5%
• Antioxidant systems: 0.05–0.2%

Solubility: soluble in ethanol, DMSO, and water (limited). For aqueous systems, use solubilizers. pH stability: optimal under 6.0.
