About
Trihydroxydihydrochalcone is the organic compound that conforms to the formula. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Trihydroxydihydrochalcone is a reduced form of a chalcone polyphenol, bearing three hydroxyl groups on its aromatic rings. Dihydrochalcones are less common in cosmetics than their unsaturated chalcone counterparts. The multiple hydroxyl groups provide antioxidant potential, but also raise questions about oxidation and potential sensitization upon air exposure. Limited dermatological testing data exists for this specific compound.
Skin benefits
- Potential antioxidant properties from polyphenolic structure
Known concerns
- Limited cosmetic safety data
- Potential for oxidation and sensitization over time
- Polyphenolic compounds may act as allergens in some individuals
