Apigenin

Introduction

What is apigenin?

Apigenin is among the most abundant flavonoids found in a variety of fruits and vegetables, including parsley, chamomile and celery. It is also a component of red wine and beer (R).

Does apigenin get absorbed?

Apigenin is not very soluble in water. As a result, apigenin in conventional topical formulations such as ointments or tinctures penetrates the skin poorly. However, loading apigenin in ethosomes improves its skin deposition and transdermal permeation (R).
