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.
Where it sits
Serums sit after toner and before moisturiser. Thinnest to thickest, water before oil.
