According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Cosmetic-Grade Tranexamic Acid market size was valued at US$ 40.52 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 77.04 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 9.5% during review period.
Cosmetic-grade tranexamic acid (also known as aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid, INCI name: Tranexamic Acid) is a synthetic amino acid derivative that meets the safety and purity requirements for cosmetic raw materials. Its chemical name is trans-4-aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid, CAS number 1197-18-8, molecular formula C₈H₁₅NO₂. It is a highly stable white crystalline powder, readily soluble in water, and practically insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol.
The purity of cosmetic-grade tranexamic acid is typically above 99.0%.
As a protease inhibitor, it inhibits melanin-enhancing factors, blocking the pathway of melanin formation under ultraviolet radiation. It also possesses anti-inflammatory properties and is used for whitening, fading dark spots, and improving melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It has high chemical stability, is suitable for cosmetic formulations with a pH of 4.0~8.0, and can be used in combination with ingredients such as niacinamide, vitamin C derivatives, and azelaic acid.
The upstream raw materials for cosmetic-grade tranexamic acid include cyclohexanone, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, liquid ammonia, and hydrogen, with L-lysine being the key amino acid. The core midstream production stages include crude product synthesis, refining and purification, impurity removal, drying, and packaging. Downstream, the conversion of cosmetic-grade tranexamic acid into whitening, spot-fading, and anti-inflammatory skincare products represents the final value proposition of the industry chain and is experiencing the fastest market growth.
In 2025, global sales of cosmetic-grade tranexamic acid reached 525 tons, with a production capacity of approximately 680 tons, an average selling price of $75/kg, and an average gross profit margin of 50%-60%.
