Isoflavone

Isoflavone (CAS 574-12-9), also known as 3-Phenylchromone, is the parent scaffold of a broad class of plant-derived bioactive compounds used across cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical formulations. It functions as an antioxidant and surface-active agent, providing both protective and functional benefits in finished products. In cosmetic formulations, it is incorporated into anti-aging creams and serums.

Skin-conditioning products benefit from its antioxidant activity, which supports stability and performance claims. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a reference standard or active ingredient basis. It is essential in the development of phytoestrogen-related supplements and botanical drug products. Food and nutrition producers apply it in functional food matrices and dietary supplement capsules.

These applications target antioxidant-enriched product lines for health-conscious consumers. Its surface modification properties also make it relevant in specialty coating and pigment formulations requiring wetting performance. The product is supplied as a fine crystalline powder, typically in off-white to pale yellow form. It is available in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications to meet the requirements of regulated industries.

Bulk quantities are offered for industrial formulators, with smaller research-grade quantities available for development. This ensures suitability for both large-scale production and specialized QA applications.
