What it is
Polyhydroxylated flavone (three additional hydroxyl groups vs base flavone) found in cereal pollen, tea, and various plants; strong DPPH and ABTS antioxidant activity; inhibits 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and superoxide anion generation; mild photoprotective co-benefits via UV absorption; metal chelation capacity may synergise with EDTA-free formulations; the wide plant distribution suggests good tolerability and long history of dietary/topical exposure.
Where it sits
Serums sit after toner and before moisturiser. Thinnest to thickest, water before oil.
