What is N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine?
N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (CAS 7512-17-6), often called NAG, is a high-purity natural monosaccharide derivative. Formulators value this skin-identical ingredient because it acts as a direct precursor to hyaluronic acid synthesis in human skin. Our cosmetic grade N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine powder dissolves completely in cold water, forming clear, non-sticky liquid formulas. It gently inhibits melanin production, reduces hyperpigmentation, and restores natural barrier hydration.
R&D chemists incorporate bulk N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine CAS 7512-17-6 into skin-brightening serums, anti-aging lotions, and daily repair creams. When paired with niacinamide, NAG produces a strong synergistic effect that speeds up the fading of dark spots. Joint health manufacturers also select dietary supplement NAG powder to support cartilage repair and improve flexibility. In daily skin care manufacturing, formulators rely on NAG to smooth skin texture without triggering irritation.

Superior N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine Series | Reliable Quality & Sufficient Supply
Zhishang Bio produces N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (CAS 7512-17-6) using a controlled enzymatic fermentation process. This eco-friendly method removes shellfish allergens and maintains an HPLC assay purity above 99.5%. Our refined crystallization technique keeps heavy metals under 3 ppm and controls moisture content below 0.5%. This precise engineering prevents powder caking and eliminates brown discoloration in finished cosmetic lotions over time.
To guarantee reliable global deliveries, we operate three automated production lines with a monthly output capacity of 80 metric tons. Our ISO9001-certified warehouse maintains a constant spot stock of 10,000 kg for rapid order fulfillment. We dispatch standard sample shipments within 24 hours and bulk orders within 3 business days. Every shipment includes a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA), SDS, and complete HPLC testing spectra.
FAQ
Discoloration in NAG formulas usually comes from residual reducing sugars and trace heavy metal impurities. We use high-efficiency crystallization to keep purity above 99.5% and heavy metals under 3 ppm. This ensures your cosmetic emulsions stay pure white throughout their shelf life.
Yes. We manufacture our NAG powder using a bio-fermentation process rather than traditional chitin extraction from crab or shrimp shells. This makes our raw material 100% vegan-friendly and safe for hypoallergenic skincare products.
Our N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine powder remains highly stable within a pH range of 4.0 to 7.0. We recommend adding the powder during the aqueous phase at temperatures below 60℃ to maintain maximum bioactivity and stability.
We keep 10,000 kg of spot inventory in stock. We ship evaluation samples within 24 hours of your request. For standard commercial bulk orders (up to 5,000 kg), we process and ship out within 3 business days.
