About

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

Myricetin is a tetrahydroxyflavone found in fruits, vegetables, and teas. It functions as a potent antioxidant in cosmetic formulations and has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity in skin cell studies. While extensively studied, its use in cosmetics is not specifically regulated in the EU, and it is not subject to restriction lists. Natural flavonoids of this class carry low concern at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Skin benefits

  • Potent antioxidant activity neutralizing free radicals
  • Anti-inflammatory properties beneficial for sensitive skin
  • May support collagen protection against oxidative damage

Known concerns

  • Limited clinical data on topical use concentrations
  • May interact with other flavonoid compounds
