What it is

Dihydromyricetin is a plant flavonoid, most often sourced from Hovenia dulcis (the Japanese raisin tree) and related botanicals. In cosmetics it is used as an antioxidant additive.

What it does

It is included to help defend the skin against everyday oxidative stress from factors like pollution and UV exposure, and it is often paired with other antioxidants to support a fresher, more even-looking complexion. It is also cited for soothing, anti-irritant style benefits in formulas.

Typical use

Usually appears at low levels in serums, essences, moisturisers and after-sun products, blended with humectants and other antioxidants rather than used on its own.

Safety

Graded low risk here as a plant-derived antioxidant with low irritation potential. As with any active, sensitive skin can react to a finished formula, so patch-test a new product first. This is general information, not medical advice.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - plant/vitamin antioxidant with low irritation potential.
