Product Overview

Lutein is a natural lipid-soluble xanthophyll carotenoid extracted from dried marigold flower petals. It is a key macular pigment that accumulates in human retina and macula, filtering harmful blue light and delivering antioxidant effects. Available in both Lutein powder and Lutein oil suspension forms, this standardized extract is widely used as a core raw material for eye-health dietary supplements, and it is frequently formulated together with zeaxanthin.

Character

Lutein exists as orange-yellow fine powder or orange oil suspension, featuring stable carotenoid activity. It shows good formulation compatibility, suitable for softgel, tablet, capsule and powder blend processing. It can be used alone or blended with zeaxanthin and other antioxidant ingredients in eye-care formulas.

Main Functions

1.Eye Health & Macular Protection — Lutein accumulates in the retina and macula, filters blue light, and supports healthy macular function and normal vision.

2.Powerful Antioxidant Activity — Neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress in eye tissues and skin.

3.Visual Fatigue Relief — Helps ease eye strain caused by long screen time, commonly combined with zeaxanthin in eye-health supplements.

4.Skin Antioxidant Protection — Shields skin from environmental oxidative damage and photoaging.

Applications

1.Dietary supplements: softgels, capsules, powder blends for macular health, blue light protection and eye fatigue relief, usually combined with zeaxanthin.

2.Functional food & beverages: added as eye-health nutrient fortifier and antioxidant.

3.Cosmetics & personal care: antioxidant raw material for anti-photoaging skincare.

Our Quality

As a professional ingredient supplier, we do not operate manufacturing facilities. Instead, we build robust quality‑assurance workflows across our whole supply chain to safeguard consistent product performance for every shipment

Strict Supplier Due‑Diligence

Before entering any partnership, we carry out on-site factory visits and assess industry reputation, followed by multi-stage qualification reviews. We validate production qualifications, export track records, quality management systems and complete certification packages. New suppliers must pass sample evaluation, and only fully vetted top-tier factories are admitted to our approved supplier pool

Batch‑by‑batch Document Verification

For every order, we cross‑check factory‑issued test documents against agreed specifications including FCC, USP, EP, AJI, CP or your customized requirements. We will not forward documents to customers until key indicators are fully aligned with specifications. This step avoids inconsistent or mismatched documentation common in raw‑material trade.

Independent Third‑party Testing Coordination

Upon client request, we can arrange independent laboratory inspections from recognized third‑party institutions. We manage sample delivery, test protocol communication and report follow‑up to support your market compliance needs.

Quality Closure & Continuous Improvement

We keep traceable records for all delivered batches. If any quality concern arises, we act as your single point‑of‑contact to trace root causes with source factories, drive corrective actions and deliver practical resolution plans. Client feedback is systematically collected to optimize our supplier management and document‑review procedures.

We provide a comprehensive set of compliance documents to support your import and registration work. Our available documentation includes but is not limited to:

★ ISO Certification ★ Halal Certificate
