Product name: Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone

CAS NO: 24292-52-2

Hesperidin methyl chalcone is a bioflavinoid. It is found in naturally high concentrations in the peel, pulp, and membranes of citrus fruit, such as grapefruits, lemons, and oranges. Hesperidin methyl chalcone has antioxidant properties, which help it to combat the inflammation and cell damage caused by free radicals.

In skin care products, hesperidin methyl chalcone improves the appearance of the characteristic, bluish-black circles that can form under the eyes. The skin under the eyes is much thinner than on other parts of the face and body. As a result, dark bluish-black circles can form under the eyes, giving a tired and prematurely aged appearance. These discolored areas are the result of blood flowing through the capillaries that lie just under the surface of the thin, fragile skin, which is almost translucent. Hesperidin methyl chalcone strengthens the capillary walls and lowers the blood flow passing through the tiny blood vessels. It also prevents blood leaking out of the capillaries by reducing the permeability of the blood vessel walls. With stronger capillary walls and less visible blood flow, the skin loses its bluish-black hue.

Dark circles under the eye area are often associated with aging. Although dark circles can appear at any age, they often become more pronounced as an individual matures. The reason for this is that the skin becomes thinner and more fragile with age, as collagen and elastin levels fall. Because of its ability to reduce dark circles under the eyes, hesperidin methyl chalcone can be found listed as an ingredient in some anti-aging eye creams and serums.

Hesperidin methyl chalcone is also listed as an ingredient in a number of facial creams and lotions that tackle skin redness. Skin redness can be a symptom of a skin condition, such as rosacea, or simply the result of skin hypersensitivity. Hesperidin methyl chalcone works to improve skin tone and reduce redness by calming inflammation and decreasing capillary permeability, which can cause high coloration of the skin.
