Phlorizin: Botanical Glucoside for Moisture Balance, Skin Barrier Function and Sugar Regulation Concepts

Molecular Identity

• INCI Name: Phlorizin
• Molecular Formula: C₂₁H₂₄O₁₀
• Source: Extracted from apple tree bark (Malus domestica) and other Rosaceae species

Cosmetic Functionality & Applications

Phlorizin is a natural dihydrochalcone glucoside that offers unique potential in cosmetic systems aiming to regulate skin hydration, barrier behavior, and sugar-associated stress. Its mild bioactivity and high skin compatibility make it ideal for long-term care products and minimalist formulations.

• Hydration Optimization: Helps manage transepidermal water loss by reinforcing barrier layers
• Glucose Balance: Supports formulas designed to minimize glycation-related dullness
• Sensitive Skin Support: Well tolerated and suited for gentle hydration platforms
• Modern Botanical Appeal: Naturally sourced for clean-label or sensitive-use cosmetics

Recommended in skin-calming emulsions, water-control serums, protective night creams, and formulations focused on anti-glycation or lipid preservation. Available in bulk form with regulatory support for industrial-scale use.

Typical Usage & Guidelines

• Hydrating creams and barrier emulsions: 0.05–0.4%
• Anti-glycation serums or tonics: 0.1–0.3%
• Daily care for dry or sensitive skin: 0.05–0.2%

Phlorizin is moderately water-soluble and may require solubilizers for stable dispersion. Should be added at room temperature or in cool-down phases. pH range: 5.0–7.0.
