Request SDS →Sodium chondroitin sulfate (CAS 9082-07-9) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (a natural polysaccharide), here shark-derived and deodorized. In cosmetic and personal-care formulations it is used as a hair-conditioning and antistatic agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shark-derived deodorized sodium chondroitin sulfate?
Sodium chondroitin sulfate (CAS 9082-07-9) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan, a natural polysaccharide, here shark-derived and deodorized to reduce characteristic odor. RawSource supplies it as a hair-conditioning and antistatic raw material for personal-care formulations.
What is shark chondroitin sulfate used for in cosmetics?
It functions as a conditioning agent in hair-care formulations and as an antistatic agent that reduces static charge on hair and fibers. These are its standard glycosaminoglycan cosmetic functions. Usage levels are set by the formulator.
How does the shark-derived grade differ from the bovine grade?
Both are sodium chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans, but they differ in source: this grade is shark-derived (CAS 9082-07-9) versus the bovine grade (CAS 9007-28-7), and this one is deodorized. Choice between them is typically driven by sourcing and formulation requirements. Contact RawSource to confirm origin documentation.
What does deodorized mean for this material?
Deodorized indicates the grade has been processed to minimize the characteristic odor associated with marine-derived raw materials, which is useful in fragranced or low-odor formulations. Specification details are in the CoA. Request it for the lot supplied.
What is the cost of bulk shark-derived chondroitin sulfate?
Pricing depends on grade, source documentation, packaging, and volume. RawSource quotes bulk quantities directly under HS code 391390 rather than publishing a price. Send your volume for a current quote and lead time.
