Product Overview

Zeaxanthin is a natural lipid-soluble xanthophyll carotenoid extracted from marigold (Tagetes erecta) flower petals. It is best known for its ability to accumulate in the human retina and macula, where it filters harmful blue light and supports macular health. Frequently formulated together with lutein, zeaxanthin is a go-to raw material for eye-health dietary supplements. It is also valued as a potent antioxidant and is available in both Zeaxanthin powder and Zeaxanthin oil suspension forms to suit different delivery systems.

Compounding Characteristics

Natural Zeaxanthin belongs to the carotenoid family. It maintains good stability under normal processing conditions, but long exposure to strong ultraviolet light should be avoided.

Zeaxanthin powder has excellent flow property and blending compatibility. It can be easily compounded with lutein, vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc to create compound eye health formulas.

Zeaxanthin oil shows superior lipophilic activity, ideal for softgel filling and high-end antioxidant skincare formulations.

Main Functions

1.Eye Health & Macular Protection — accumulates in the retina and macula, filters harmful blue light and maintains normal macular function.

2.Powerful Antioxidant Activity — neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress in eye tissues and throughout the body.

3.Visual Comfort Support — helps relieve eye fatigue and supports healthy vision, commonly combined with lutein.

4.Skin Antioxidant Protection — protects skin cells from oxidative damage caused by environmental factors such as UV exposure.

Applications

ECHEMI Editorial Reference

Yellow Crystalline Solid
Solid
Zeaxanthin is a carotenol. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite, a cofactor and an antioxidant. It derives from a hydride of a beta-carotene.|Zeaxanthin is a most common carotenoid alcohols found in nature that is involved in the xanthophyll cycle. As a coexistent isomer of lutein, zeaxanthin is synthesized in plants and some micro-organisms. It gives the distinct yellow color to many vegetables and other plants including paprika, corn, saffron and wolfberries. Zeaxanthin is one of the two primary xanthophyll carotenoids contained within the retina of the eye and plays a predominant component in the central macula. It is available as a dietary supplement for eye health benefits and potential prevention of age-related macular degeneration. Zeaxanthin is also added as a food dye.|Carotenoids found in fruits and vegetables. Zeaxanthin accumulates in the MACULA LUTEA.

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:
