Ingredient guide
Chrysin
INCI name · chrysin
In short
A plant‑derived flavone explored for its effect on the look of under‑eye darkness and redness. It has antioxidant and calming properties, though topical penetration often requires specialised delivery systems.
What it is
Flavone from Passiflora caerulea and propolis; inhibits aromatase (CYP19A1) reducing local oestrogen conversion in subcutaneous fat; explored in topical formulations targeting periorbital dark circles as oestrogen contributes to haemoglobin deposition in periocular vasculature; anti-inflammatory via NF-κB pathway; antioxidant and mild tyrosinase-inhibiting; skin penetration requires cyclodextrin or liposomal delivery in most applications; topical evidence base is limited.
