Hesperidin

Hesperidin (CAS 520-26-3, EC 208-288-1) is a naturally derived flavonoid glycoside sourced primarily from citrus peel, also known under the names Cirantin, Hesperidine, and Hesperidoside. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29389000. It is sometimes referred to informally as Vitamin P.

In personal care formulations, hesperidin functions as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals and as a humectant by attracting and retaining moisture within the skin matrix, making it suitable for protective and conditioning applications. In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, it is incorporated for its bioactive flavonoid properties, supporting vascular and cellular health formulations.

Hesperidin is supplied as a light brown powder in cosmetic and food-grade specifications, with compliance applicable under REACH registration requirements for EU market entry. Procurement quantities are available in standard bulk formats suited to industrial formulation workflows.
