What is Phloretin?

 Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone, a type of natural phenols. It is the phloroglucin ester ofparaoxyhydratropic acid. It can be found in apple tree leaves.

.Studies have identified phloretin, another plant antioxidant, as a useful antioxidant that is capable of penetrating the skin and interacting with other antioxidants to provide effective photoprotection. Phloretin found in both the flesh and peel of apples is a potent antioxidant...In preliminary studies measuring photoprotection to UVA-induced erythema and pigmentation, we found that a solution containing vitamin C, ferulic acid, and phloretin (CFerPhlor) provided protection .

The addition of phloretin resulted from a systematic testing of plant polyphenols for their ability to get into skin following topical application and to provide subsequent photoprotection. Phloretin, a dihydrochalcone polyphenol, together with its glucosidephloridzin are found relatively uniquely in apples and are thought to be important in the health-promoting effects of this fruit.Phloretin has strong antioxidant effects when tested against experimental stable free radicals,hydroxyl radical, and prevention of lipid peroxidation.Phloretin inhibited MMP-1 and elastase, enzymes that degrade connective tissue and are considered important in photoaging. Phloretin has been demonstrated to inhibit tyrosinase activity in human melanocytes and as such may be a useful ingredient as a topical lightening agent for pigment disorders of skin.Phloretin has also been studied as a penetration enhancer for topical application to skin .
