Glucosylrutin

Glucosylrutin is a water-soluble derivative of rutin, a flavonoid naturally found in buckwheat, citrus fruits, and other plants. This enhanced form is created through enzymatic glucosylation, where glucose molecules are attached to rutin, dramatically improving its water solubility by up to 12,000 times compared to the parent compound. The compound serves as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent with exceptional skin bioavailability. Its unique ability to neutralize free radicals, particularly those generated by UV radiation, makes it particularly effective for protecting against oxidative stress and photoaging. In skincare formulations, Glucosylrutin functions as both a radical scavenger and protective agent, helping to reduce inflammation, prevent UV-induced damage, and strengthen the skin’s natural defense mechanisms. This makes it invaluable for products targeting sun protection, anti-aging, and sensitive skin conditions, offering superior environmental defense while maintaining excellent skin compatibility.
