Used in research for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and potential anti-cancer properties, particularly in studies related to skin health, protection against oxidative stress, and cellular-level cancer inhibition. Shows potential in cosmetic formulations aimed at reducing signs of aging and improving skin resilience, as well as in developing new pharmaceuticals for chronic diseases involving inflammation and oxidative stress. Also investigated for antimicrobial activity, suggesting possible use in topical antiseptics or preservatives. Limited to laboratory and experimental settings; not currently used in commercial pharmaceuticals or consumer products.
