As consumers increasingly seek natural, plant-based products, the demand for ursolic acid has grown, particularly in skincare formulations and dietary supplements.

Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties: Ursolic acid is recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties. These health benefits have driven its application in various therapeutic areas, particularly in managing chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. This has increased its demand in the nutraceutical market.
