Used in skincare formulations for its antioxidant and anti-aging properties due to its chemical structure featuring multiple phenolic groups, which help scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in skin cells. It supports collagen production, may improve skin elasticity, and is found in cosmetic products targeting wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting enzymes involved in inflammation, such as cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, with potential in dermatological applications.

Research indicates potential effects on blood sugar regulation, supporting diabetes management, as well as neuroprotective properties that could aid in developing treatments for neurological disorders like Alzheimer's. Due to its similarity to phenolic compounds in medicinal plants, it may be used in dietary supplements or cosmetics emphasizing anti-wrinkle and anti-aging benefits.
