Used as a fluorescent probe in biological imaging due to its natural origin and photostable properties. It binds selectively to certain cellular structures, enabling visualization of cell membranes and organelles under UV or blue light excitation. Also studied for its potential antioxidant effects in cosmetic formulations, where it helps reduce oxidative stress in skin cells. Shows mild antimicrobial activity, making it a candidate for use in topical antiseptics and dermatological preparations.
