Ursolic acid, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, is gaining popularity in the Philippines as a nutraceutical and cosmetic ingredient. Demand is driven by the wellness industry, particularly in supplements, anti-aging products, and functional foods. However, regulatory clarity and raw material sourcing continue to impact the pace of market development.
These specialty compounds are finding niche markets in health supplements and pharmaceuticals. Ursolic acid is used in cosmetics and nutraceuticals, while ursodeoxycholic acid addresses liver disorders. Markets are small but stable, relying on imports and niche demand, with room for growth in natural health and liver care segments.
Ursolic acid faces challenges due to low consumer awareness, lack of regulatory recognition as a functional ingredient, and minimal domestic production. High costs of extraction and competition from more popular nutraceuticals hinder broader adoption. Limited clinical data for local populations also restricts demand.
Ursolic acid, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, is gaining popularity in the nutraceutical and cosmetic sectors. Investors can establish import or extraction operations, targeting health supplement manufacturers and cosmetic brands. Co-branding and private labeling are also viable strategies.
Ursolic acid, a naturally derived compound used in health supplements and cosmetics, is regulated by the FDA depending on its application. As a dietary supplement, it must be registered and follow ASEAN harmonized food supplement labeling standards. In cosmetic applications, it must conform to ASEAN Cosmetic Directive rules. Importation of raw ursolic acid extracts also requires proper documentation and customs clearance from the Bureau of Customs (BOC) and FDA.
