Troxerutin Introduction
Troxerutin, also known as Vitamin P4, is a derivative of Rutin, specifically a hydroxyethyl ether form, primarily extracted from the dried flower buds and flowers of sophora. As a Rutin derivative, Troxerutin retains the biological activity of its parent compound while boasting improved water solubility. This characteristic has made it a popular raw material in the cosmetics industry, particularly in the formulation of sunscreen products. Troxerutin (TRX) is a naturally occurring flavonoid derivative found in a variety of sources, including grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Troxerutin Functions
- Sunblock and Anti-Allergy: Troxerutin disrupts microbial cell membranes, inhibiting growth and acting as an anti-allergic agent. It absorbs UV and X-ray radiation, offering protection against radiation damage and aiding in sunburn repair.
- Anti-Oxidation: It effectively eliminates reactive oxygen free radicals, surpassing vitamin E in maintaining cell metabolism and reducing lipid peroxidation. This minimizes free radical damage and stabilizes cell bio-film structure.
- Reducing Skin Redness: Effective for treating couperose skin (telangiectasis) by enhancing capillary resistance and reducing its permeability. Troxerutin restores elasticity to dilated capillaries, preventing further skin redness.
