Quercetin

Quercetin is a flavonoid, a type of plant pigment, found in many plants, vegetables, fruits, herbs, seeds and grains. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. It helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals which can lead to premature skin ageing as well as stimulating the production of collagen. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce redness, swelling and irritation. Not only does it help protect the skin from sun damage, but it can also help brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation.
