Asebogenin is primarily used in dermatological research due to its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties. It is commonly incorporated into topical formulations aimed at treating inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and allergic dermatitis. Its ability to modulate immune responses in the skin makes it valuable in reducing redness, swelling, and irritation. Additionally, asebogenin is studied for its potential in cosmetic products designed to enhance skin barrier function and improve overall skin tolerance, especially in sensitive skin types. Due to its natural origin and mild activity profile, it is favored in formulations labeled as natural or hypoallergenic.
