About

Dihydroquercetin Pentacaprylate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Dihydroquercetin Pentacaprylate is a semi-synthetic flavonoid ester combining the antioxidant dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) with caprylic acid to improve lipid solubility. Dihydroquercetin itself is not restricted under EU cosmetic regulations, and the esterification typically reduces rather than increases toxicity. The compound carries no GHS hazard statements and is not listed on EU Annex II or III.
