About

Glucosyl Gallate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Glucosyl Gallate is a phenolic glucoside where gallic acid is bonded to a glucose unit, functioning as an antioxidant. The glucoside form improves water solubility compared to free gallic acid. Gallic acid and its derivatives are not restricted in EU cosmetics, and the glycosylation typically reduces irritation potential while preserving antioxidant activity.

Skin benefits

  • Antioxidant — scavenges free radicals
  • Anti-inflammatory properties
