Rutin
What Rutin is & what it does
A plant flavonoid antioxidant that protects against free radicals and helps support the look of strong, resilient skin. It also adds light soothing benefits.
What does Rutin do in skincare?
Rutin is a plant flavonoid used as an antioxidant in skincare. It helps defend the formula and skin surface against oxidative stress from free radicals. In sunscreens and daytime products it is often paired with other antioxidants to support environmental protection claims.
Is Rutin natural or synthetic?
Rutin is natural in origin. It is a flavonoid found in plants such as buckwheat, citrus, and many fruits and vegetables, and it is extracted from these sources for cosmetic use. The cosmetic ingredient is therefore plant-derived.
Is Rutin safe?
Rutin is generally considered safe for topical use in cosmetics. It is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is well tolerated by most skin types. As with any active, people with very sensitive skin can patch test before regular use.
