Azelaic acid is a white powder used in many
industrial applications such as polymers, plasticizers, as a component in hair
and skin conditioners. Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid which is majorly
used in cosmetics. It works on skin as a gentle leave-on exfoliant which helps
in unclogging pores and refine skin's surface. Azelaic acid is derived from
grains like barley, wheat, and rye, however, lab-engineered form of azelaic
acid is used in the skincare products due to its stability and effectiveness.
Esters of azelaic acid are used in lubrication and plasticizers as a thickening
agent in lithium complex grease. When combined with hexamethylenediamine,
azelaic acid forms Nylon-6,9, which is used as a plastic.
According to the study “Asia
Azelaic Acid Industry Situation and Prospects Research Report”,
cosmetics with azelaic acid in the concentrations of 10% or less are not easily
available. However, a few brands have discovered azelaic acid’s powerful
skincare benefits. Azelaic acid is a tricky ingredient and needs to be
formulated properly for better results. Azelaic acid possesses bacteriostatic
and bactericidal properties against a variety of aerobic and anaerobic
microorganisms present on acne-bearing skin. Azelaic acid is used to treat mild
to moderate acne by killing acne bacteria that infect skin pores. It decreases
the production of keratin which promotes the growth of acne bacteria. Azelaic
acid is also used for treatment of skin pigmentation. All azelaic acid
cosmetics contains a soothing complex of brightening plant extracts coupled
with skin-restoring adenosine, an energizing ingredients that visibly reduces
signs of aging when used. Azelaic acid can significantly diminish the
appearance of skin blemishes, help fade post-acne marks and other discolorations,
refine skin’s surface, reveal a more even skin tone, reduces skin sensitivity
and is compatible with any skin type.
Polymer grade, technical grade and
pharmaceutical grade are the three types of azelaic acid products available in
Asian markets. Various applications of azelaic acid are in the manufacture of
calendering process resin, lubricants, electronics, pharmaceuticals and
cosmetics. Geographically, azelaic acid in Asia market is spread across China,
Japan, India, Korea, Saudi Arabia and other region. The leading players of
azelaic acid market in Asia are Emery Oleochemicals, Matrica, BASF, Croda Sipo,
Nantong Hengxing Electronic Materials, Jiangsu Senxuan, Ninghai Zhonglong, and
Hubei Tuochu.
Evolution in Asian cosmetics market has led to
a huge demand for cosmetics containing azelaic acid. Natural, botanical and
environmentally-friendly azelaic acid is used as a major ingredient coupled
with sophisticated mass brands which will witness a steady growth. With the
increasing beauty conscious population and awareness has led to the demand for
cosmetics with azelaic acid. A positive growth is expected in the next few
years and is driven by the popularity of innovative, multifunctional and
natural azelaic acid products.
