Have you explored how soybean-derived phytosterol elevates both food and skincare formulas?

2026-04-10

Phytosterol, also known as plant sterol, is a natural active steroid compound widely present in plant cell membranes. Its molecular structure is highly similar to that of human cholesterol and it is a high-quality natural raw material with both nutritional benefits and skin care value. Our company has been deeply engaged in the research and development and production of phytosterols for many years. Relying on natural high-quality raw materials such as soybeans, pine wood, corn, and rapeseed, we adopt advanced purification techniques to create a full range of phytosterol products of food grade and cosmetic grade. At the same time, we have launched high-purity stigmasterol and β -sitosterol monomer series, which are complete in specifications, controllable in purity, and stable in quality. It can fully meet the customized demands in multiple fields such as food processing, cosmetic research and development, and nutritional health products, providing customers with safe, efficient and compliant natural raw material solutions. All of our plant sterol products are made from non-genetically modified and pollution-free natural raw materials. They undergo multiple purification, refining and refinement processes to remove impurities and retain activity. The products feature high purity, good fluidity, easy compatibility and strong stability, and can meet the processing requirements in different scenarios. At the same time, they support the traceability of raw material sources and fully comply with industry production standards, ensuring quality is controllable throughout the process.

Details of Food Grade Phytosterols

Food-grade phytosterols are strictly produced in accordance with national food safety standards, with no harmful residues. They can be directly used in the processing of various health foods and health products, helping to upgrade the nutritional attributes of products. They mainly come from four sources: soybeans, pine wood, corn, and rapeseed, with purity levels covering 90%, 95%, and 99%, and are suitable for different food processing techniques and formula requirements.

Source and specification details of raw materials

  • Soybean source: 90%, 95%, 99% purity, stable raw material source, balanced sterol composition, mild taste without off-flavors, suitable for various food formulas.
  • Source of pine wood: 90%, 95%, 99% purity, mature extraction process, high product purity, extremely low impurity content, and better stability than conventional plant sources.
  • Corn source: 90%, 95%, 99% purity, extracted from natural grains, strong compatibility, in line with the research and development trend of natural health food.
  • Rapeseed source: 90%, 95%, 99% purity, high sterol activity, high nutritional density, and excellent cost performance.

Core application fields

  • Functional foods: Dairy products (yogurt, cheese, plant protein drinks), edible oils, baked goods, cereal breakfasts, meal replacement foods, snack foods, etc. These foods enhance the nutritional selling points of the products and meet the modern healthy diet demands.
  • Nutritional health products: Soft capsules, tablets, powders and other regulatory health products, as core functional ingredients, help the products exert physiological maintenance effects.
  • Special Dietary Foods: Special dietary and sports nutrition foods suitable for people with high blood lipid levels and the middle-aged and elderly, achieving precise nutritional supplementation.

Details of Cosmetic Grade Phytosterols

Cosmetical-grade phytosterols are known for their gentle skin care and barrier repair effects. Their purification process is more rigorous, with no risk of excessive heavy metals or microorganisms. They are suitable for the research and development of various skin care and hair care products. They mainly come from three sources: soybeans, pine wood, and rapeseed, with purity rates covering 95% and 99%, meeting the raw material requirements of high-end cosmetics.

Details of raw material sources and specifications

  • Soybean source: 95%, 99% purity, fine texture, strong skin affinity, easily absorbed by the skin.
  • Source of pine wood: 95% and 99% purity, high purity, stable activity, and outstanding antioxidant effect.
  • Rapeseed source: 95%, 99% purity, strong moisture retention and repair power.

Core application fields

A wide range of skin care and hair care products, including face cream, lotion, essence, toner, sunscreen, body lotion, hand cream, facial cleanser, shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, etc., are especially suitable for the research and development of high-end scalp care products.

  • Stigmasterol (monomer)

Stigmasterol is an important monomer component of plant sterols. Our company selects high-quality soybeans as raw materials to purify high-purity stigmasterol monomers, with purity levels covering 80%, 90%, and 95%. The products have high activity, few impurities, and possess both nutritional and industrial application value.

  • β -sitosterol (monomer)

β -sitosterol is the core monomer with the highest content and strongest activity among plant sterols. Our company's β -sitosterol monomers are derived from soybeans, with purity levels covering 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%. The raw materials are natural, the purification is precise, the components are single, and the efficacy is highly targeted. β -sitosterol is a core functional ingredient in the health supplement field and can also enhance the repair ability in the skin care aspect.

Conclusion:

Our company can provide personalized services such as customized purity, source and particle size of plant sterol raw materials based on the specific needs of customers. At the same time, we are equipped with a professional technical team to offer technical support including guidance on raw material application formulas and optimization of processing techniques, ensuring product quality and supply stability throughout the process, and helping customers create high-quality and highly competitive terminal products.
