  • Applications

    Naringenin (CAS 480-41-1) is a natural flavonoid that is typically applied as an antioxidant ingredient in cosmetics and personal care formulations to help mitigate oxidative stress in skin. In pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry contexts, it is studied as a scaffold and intermediate for the synthesis of bioactive compounds, supporting drug discovery research. In the nutraceutical and functional foods space, it is evaluated as a dietary supplement ingredient and functional additive due to its antioxidant activity, with product claims and usage constrained by regulations. In materials science, naringenin has been explored as a natural antioxidant stabilizer for polymers and coatings to improve aging resistance and durability.
