What it is
Citrus flavanone aglycone; direct antioxidant via catechol ring electron donation; inhibits tyrosinase and DOPA oxidase activity in cell-free and melanocyte culture assays, suggesting melanogenesis-moderating potential; anti-inflammatory via AMPK activation and reduction of NF-κB nuclear translocation; topical evidence is limited to in vitro and early animal studies; often combined with other citrus flavonoids in antioxidant preparations targeting uneven skin tone and oxidative load.
