RonaCare Troxerutin

IO Sun Care Antioxidant Oil Active Troxerutin, a flavonoid powder

IO Sun Care Antioxidant Oil Active Troxerutin is a yellow powder with the INCI Troxerutin. Troxerutin is a hydroxyethyl derivative of rutin, a flavonoid found in plants such as the Japanese pagoda tree, and the modification makes it easy to dissolve in water. Buy it as a powder cosmetic active from $9.99 for a 10 g trial pack, with larger packs up to 1 kg bulk for leave-on and rinse-off formulas.

Where it fits in skin care

Formulators use Troxerutin in eye contour gels and creams that address the look of dark circles and puffiness, in products for skin that looks red or flushed, and in cooling leg and foot gels for a light, refreshed feel. Its antioxidant character also makes it a useful extra in daily face creams. A level of about 0.5 to 2% is common in leave-on products.

Building an eye contour gel

A clear eye gel with Troxerutin often adds caffeine for the look of puffiness and a moisturizer such as hyaluronic acid liquid for a smooth, plumped look. For a calming partner in creams, bisabolol is a common choice. Find more eye care and tone ingredients in our cosmetic actives section.

Formulating notes

Dissolve the powder in the water phase. It tints a formula slightly yellow, so test the color in a clear gel. Keep the finished pH in a skin-friendly range and store the pack closed, dry and away from light. For wholesale volumes above 1 kg, request a bulk quote from the supplier specification. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
