Antioxidant ingredient
Hesperidin
Hesperidin is a flavanone glycoside found primarily in citrus fruit peel — particularly orange and lemon. It is one of the most studied citrus bioflavonoids, with documented antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vascular-protective properties. In cosmetics, hesperidin is used for its antioxidant activity and potential contribution to brightening and anti-aging effects. It is distinct from the semisynthetic Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, which is more specifically used for capillary strengthening.

Benefits
- ✓Hesperidin is a flavanone glycoside naturally abundant in citrus fruit peel with documented antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and capillary-protective ('vitamin P') activity
- ✓In skin, hesperidin stabilizes collagen by cross-linking collagen fibers and inhibiting MMP-degradation; combined with its radical scavenging activity, this provides a comprehensive anti-aging benefit
- ✓Methyl hesperidin (a water-soluble derivative) has established skin-brightening activity via tyrosinase inhibition; the glycoside form provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits primarily
