Luteolin
INCI name · luteolin
In short
Luteolin is a plant‑derived flavone known for calming surface reactivity. It offers antioxidant benefits and may support a more comfortable, less reactive barrier.
What it is
Hydroxylated flavone found in celery, broccoli, and artichoke; among the more potent NF-κB inhibitors in common dietary flavonoids. At micromolar concentrations suppresses IKK activation blocking IL-6, IL-8, and MMP-1 expression; inhibits MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt inflammatory pathways; moderate tyrosinase inhibition; antioxidant activity partly mediated by iron chelation; low aqueous solubility limits topical delivery. Nanoparticle and cyclodextrin encapsulation studied.
