About

Dimethylhydroxy Dihydroflavone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Dimethylhydroxy dihydroflavone is a synthetic flavone derivative where the core dihydroflavone structure is modified with dimethyl and hydroxy substituents. Flavonoids and their synthetic analogues are widely studied for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and collagen stabilisation activities in skin. The dihydroflavone skeleton retains the benzopyran-4-one chromophore responsible for antioxidant activity while potentially offering improved stability versus unsaturated flavones. No EU CosIng restriction is noted, and no major hazard statements appear in available databases. The score reflects the relatively favourable profile of this class but limited specific safety data for cosmetic topical use versus well-established flavonoids.

Skin benefits

  • Antioxidant activity — scavenges free radicals
  • Potentially stabilises skin collagen and elastin
  • Anti-inflammatory activity suggested by flavonoid class

Known concerns

  • Limited long-term topical safety data specific to this derivative
  • No EU SCCS assessment found
  • Structurally close to flavonoid class — generally low concern but insufficient data for high confidence
