Naringin

Product Description

Naringin is a premier bioflavonoid, the primary active compound responsible for the characteristic bitterness of grapefruit, and a multi-functional powerhouse for advanced skincare. Its primary value lies in its dual-action approach to skin health: it provides potent, broad-spectrum antioxidant protection against environmental stressors, while also uniquely supporting the skin’s own barrier function. Studies suggest Naringin can enhance the synthesis of ceramides, the essential lipids that maintain barrier integrity, lock in moisture, and keep irritants out. In addition, its strong anti-inflammatory properties also help to calm and soothe compromised or irritated skin. For brands developing sophisticated formulas for barrier repair, anti-pollution, and sensitive skin, our high-purity Naringin is a key ingredient for building skin resilience from within.

Product Uses

• Barrier Repair & Sensitive Skincare: The hero active in creams, lotions, and serums designed to strengthen the skin barrier, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and soothe sensitive or compromised skin.
• Anti-Pollution & Daily Defense: A key ingredient in "urban defense" and daily-wear products to provide a powerful antioxidant shield against environmental free radicals and pollution-induced damage.
• Healthy Aging Formulas: Used in anti-aging products to help protect the skin's structural components and support a resilient, healthy-looking complexion.
• Soothing Scalp Care: Incorporated into scalp serums to help fortify the scalp's protective barrier and reduce sensitivity.

Formulation Suggestions

Recommended dosage: 0.2% - 1.5%.
The primary formulation consideration for Naringin is its limited solubility in cold water. To ensure full incorporation into aqueous systems, we recommend creating a pre-mix by dissolving the powder in a suitable co-solvent like Propanediol or Butylene Glycol, or by dissolving it directly into the heated water phase (70-80°C). For maximum stability and to prevent potential discoloration, maintain the final formula at a slightly acidic pH (4.5-6.0) and add the active during the cool-down phase of production. The use of UV-protective packaging is recommended.

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