About

HYDROXYGENISTEIN is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Hydrogenistein is a hydroxyisoflavone derivative belonging to the isoflavone class of phytoestrogens. Its structural similarity to genistein suggests potential estrogenic activity. The EU CosIng database does not list specific restrictions, but the endocrine activity of this class of compounds warrants caution.

Known concerns

  • Limited cosmetic safety data
