Hesperidin

Product Description

Hesperidin is a premier bioflavonoid, naturally abundant in citrus peels, and renowned for its powerful effects on skin microcirculation and vascular health. Its primary value in skincare lies in its unique ability to strengthen capillary walls and improve their resilience. This makes it a gold-standard ingredient for targeting the root causes of vascular-related concerns, such as dark under-eye circles and facial redness. In addition to its targeted action on capillaries, Hesperidin is a potent antioxidant, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage that can lead to a dull, tired appearance. For brands developing high-performance, targeted treatments for eye care and sensitive skin, our high-purity Hesperidin is the essential active for promoting a brighter, calmer, and more resilient complexion.

Product Uses

• Targeted Eye Care: The hero ingredient in advanced eye creams and serums specifically formulated to reduce the appearance of vascular dark circles and puffiness by supporting capillary health.
• Anti-Redness & Soothing Skincare: A key active in treatments for sensitive and redness-prone skin, helping to calm irritation and promote a more even and uniform skin tone.
• Protective & "Anti-Fatigue" Formulas: Used in daily-wear products and 'anti-fatigue' serums to provide antioxidant defense and help restore radiance to dull skin by supporting healthy microcirculation.

Formulation Suggestions

Recommended dosage: 0.2% - 2.0%.
Hesperidin's extremely low solubility in water is the primary formulation challenge, and direct incorporation into most formulas is not feasible. To overcome this, we recommend one of two expert approaches: 1) For aqueous systems like serums and gels, we strongly advise using its water-soluble derivative, Glucosyl Hesperidin, which we also supply. 2) For emulsions, pure Hesperidin can be incorporated by creating a fine dispersion in the heated oil phase. Utilizing encapsulation technologies can also significantly improve its bioavailability. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.0-7.0) is recommended.

Our advice is for reference only. Please follow the recommendations of your formulator for actual production.
