The world's leading supplier of cosmetic grade azelaic acid

Azeco Cosmeceuticals was founded in 2014 with one clear promise: to produce and supply the highest and purest quality azelaic acid available on the market. We developed and trademarked Azepur99®, a cosmetic grade azelaic acid for skincare, scalp care and hair care, and we have built our company around exceptional purity, reliable supply and outstanding technical and regulatory support.

Today, Azeco serves cosmetic brands, formulators and contract manufacturers in more than 40 countries across Europe, North and South America, Australia and Asia.

  • Documentation you can rely on: REACH compliant, COSMOS approved, with full technical and regulatory files for every active.
  • People you can call: personal customer service and technical support tailored to your formulation.
