USP Grade refers to substances that meet the quality standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), which ensures they are suitable for use in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and sometimes food products.
Acetic Acid Food Grade
Acetic acid food grade is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, pungent vinegar-like odor. It is a weak organic acid commonly used in the food industry as a preservative, flavoring agent, and acidity regulator. With the chemical formula CH₃COOH, food-grade acetic acid is typically found in concentrations of 4–6% in vinegar, though it can be produced at higher concentrations (up to 99%) and then diluted for food use. It is safe for consumption when used as directed and is classified as E260 under food additive codes.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera Gel is a clear, jelly-like substance extracted from the inner leaf of the Aloe vera plant. It is widely used in skincare for its soothing, hydrating, and healing properties. Rich in vitamins (especially A, C, and E), enzymes, and amino acids, Aloe Vera Gel is commonly applied to treat sunburns, minor cuts, skin irritation, and dryness. It also has mild anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, making it a popular natural remedy in both cosmetic and medicinal products.
Amethocaine HCL BP
Amethocaine Hydrochloride, also known as Tetracaine Hydrochloride, is a potent local anesthetic commonly used in medical and dental procedures to induce numbness or loss of sensation in targeted areas. It belongs to the ester class of local anesthetics and acts by blocking nerve signal transmission, preventing pain sensation. Amethocaine HCl BP is a crystalline white powder, highly soluble in water, and used in topical formulations such as creams, gels, sprays, and injections. Due to its rapid onset and intermediate duration of action, it is widely utilized for surface anesthesia before minor surgeries, endoscopic procedures, or dental treatments. It is approved by pharmacopeias including the British Pharmacopoeia (BP), ensuring compliance with quality and purity standards essential for pharmaceutical applications.
Beeswax
Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees of the genus Apis. It is secreted by worker bees from specialized glands and used to build honeycomb cells. Beeswax is a complex mixture of esters, fatty acids, and hydrocarbons, characterized by a pale yellow to brown color, a pleasant honey-like aroma, and a firm yet pliable texture. It has excellent emulsifying, binding, and protective properties, making it widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial applications. Beeswax is prized for its natural origin, biodegradability, and skin-friendly characteristics.
Bismuth subgallate
Bismuth Subgallate is a pale yellow, odorless, tasteless powder composed of bismuth and gallic acid derivatives. It is widely used as an internal deodorant for controlling odor from flatulence and stool, especially in patients with gastrointestinal conditions or post-surgery stomas. It also serves as a mild astringent and has hemostatic properties, making it useful in wound care products. Due to its insolubility in water and stability, it is suited for oral and topical formulations.
Blueberry Toppings
Blueberry Toppings are sweet, fruit-based condiment preparations made primarily from blueberries, sugar, and thickening agents. They are characterized by a vibrant blue-purple color, fruity aroma, and a sweet-tart flavor profile. Typically semi-viscous with chunks or pureed pieces of blueberry, these toppings are used as finishing ingredients in desserts, breakfast foods, and beverages. Blueberry toppings may be prepared as preserves, syrups, or glazes and often contain natural flavors and preservatives to enhance shelf life and sensory appeal.
