Chemical Properties

Safety characteristics
At present, all cholesterol products in the market are sourced from animal sources, such as animal brain, spinal cord, tissue, lanolin, etc. Animal derived products have certain characteristics, such as easy spoilage of raw materials, possible presence of endogenous residues or exogenous pollutants (such as proteins, microorganisms, viruses, pesticides, veterinary drugs, etc.), unclear composition and/or proportion, and unique harmful ingredients to the human body (such as prion proteins), which may affect the consistency of products between batches and even cause unpredictable adverse reactions after use.

However, QIXIN can provide cholesterol from plant sources, derived from phytosterols, with the following safety features:
1. Non GMO
2. No risk of spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) and mad cow disease (BSE), TSE/BSE FREE
3. Safe and non-toxic, without animal gene residues

Application of cholesterol
Cholesterol can be used as a cosmetic raw material, high-end pharmaceutical excipients, starting material for synthesizing vitamin D3, feed additive, and in various industries such as pharmaceutical and chemical production. It can also be used as an active raw material for high-end cosmetics. Plant derived cholesterol has dispelled concerns about the risk of carrying animal viruses and expanded its use in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and health food industries.
Cholesterol (cholesterol) is the first batch of cosmetic raw materials approved by the former National Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), used as a softener, emulsifier, and viscosity control agent. The secretion of human skin contains a certain amount of cholesterol and its derivatives, which have a smooth and moisturizing effect. Therefore, sufficient cholesterol is essential for human skin. Cholesterol is not irritating to the skin and is not photosensitized. Moisturizing cosmetics generally contain 1.4% and have the function of enhancing other active agents. At the same time, cholesterol is also a very necessary anti-inflammatory agent with a synergistic effect on permeability.
In recent years, ceramide, the latest generation of humectant in the fire, plays its role by forming a compound with cholesterol and fatty acid in a certain proportion to simulate intercellular lipids. It is similar in structure to the substances that make up the stratum corneum of the skin, and can quickly penetrate into the skin, combine with the water in the stratum corneum, forming a network structure that can effectively lock in water.
