6,8-Diprenylorobol is a plant-derived compound used in cosmetic and skincare formulations for its potent antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage. It shows promise in anti-aging products by supporting collagen stability and inhibiting enzymes involved in skin degradation. The compound also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, making it suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin formulations, and has been investigated for broader health applications, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer through free radical scavenging.

Additionally, research indicates antimicrobial activity, particularly against certain bacteria, suggesting potential in developing new antibiotics or as a preservative in formulations. Its UV-protective characteristics support its use in sun care products to enhance photoprotection. Due to its natural origin and biocompatibility, it is increasingly explored in botanical-based beauty products, pharmaceuticals, and health supplements.
