Apigenin is a kind of flavonoid commonly existing in nature. It is naturally found in a variety of vegetables, fruits and plants, among which compositae has a higher content. Apigenin is isolated from dried flowers of chamomile, and is a cosmetics grade raw material with high purity. As a kind of natural flavonoid compound, Apigenin has many biological activities: it has strong absorbency to UVB; and it can protect against radiation damage. Thus Apigenin can be added into sunscreen cosmetics. Apigenin also has strong antioxidant activity; and it has strong capture ability to various oxygen-containing free radicals. Furthermore, Apigenin can prevent oxidation and degradation of grease. Apigenin still possesses anti-inflammatory activity to prevent and treat skin problems, such as blisters, keratosis and aceratosis. What's more, Apigenin has sedation effect; it can alleviate itchy scalp, and prevent hair loss. So it can be applied in hair care products. Accordingly, Apigenin is increasingly popular in sunscreen, anti-allergic, whitening and anti-oxidation cosmetics.
1.Apigenin anti-cancer; Anti-viral; Anti-oxidation; Anti-inflammatory;

6.Apigenin having acaricidal properties against certain mites, such as Psoroptes cuniculi;
Application:
Apigenin is widely used in cosmetics:
1.The ultraviolet absorption of Apigenin focuses on Ultraviolet B (wavelength range of 280~320nm), and shows strong absorbency. So Apigenin can be added in sun protection cosmetics. However, it is less absorbed in Ultraviolet A (wavelength range of 320~400nm). Therefore, low concentration of Apigenin can be used in suntan oil. After exposed to sun light, skin will darken in a short time, but it will not burn skin.
2.As pigment stabilizer in cosmetics; recommended dosage is 0.1%.
3.Apigenin has anti-inflammation property. It can be applied in facial cream to prevent and treat blisters, keratosis, aceratosis. Combination with vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C can treat skin burns; combination with essential oil such as chamomile oil, marigold oil and almond oil is beneficial to wound healing.
