Chrysothol is primarily used in traditional medicine and herbal formulations for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It has been applied in the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema and minor infections due to its ability to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth. In some cosmetic products, chrysothol is included for its soothing effects and its potential to reduce redness and irritation. It may also support wound healing by promoting cell regeneration and reducing oxidative stress at the site of injury. Research suggests possible use in managing mild pain and inflammation, particularly in topical analgesics. Its natural origin makes it a favorable ingredient in eco-friendly and plant-based health products.
