The present disclosure relates to antioxidant compositions comprising a high amount of stabilized neohesperidin dihydrochalcone. The antioxidant compositions may further include additional antioxidants, such as ferulic acid, and tocopherols. The compositions include at least 20 wt. % of one or more water-soluble solvents, such as propanediol, which contribute to the surprising solubility and stability of the compositions. The antioxidant properties of the compositions make them particularly effective for treating and protecting the skin. For example, the compositions are useful for protecting the skin from environmental insult.
