Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid known for its brightening and skin tone-evening properties. It effectively reduces hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots, melasma, and sunspots, by inhibiting the synthesis of melanin. Tranexamic Acid also has anti-inflammatory effects, which help soothe the skin and reduce redness. It is commonly used in serums, creams, and brightening treatments to promote a more even, radiant skin tone without irritation. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Licochalcone A is a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial flavonoid that regulates sebum, protects against UV damage, and soothes sensitive skin—making it an essential active ingredient in acne care, anti-aging, and sun protection formulations.
Dipotassium glycyrrhizate is a salt derived from glycyrrhizic acid, which is found in licorice root. It’s commonly used in skincare products for its anti-inflammatory, soothing, and anti-irritant properties. It can help reduce redness and inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions like eczema or rosacea. Additionally, it’s sometimes used in food and beverage products as a sweetener or flavoring agent.
Grand Kojic, kojic acid, is a whitening agent that is produced by the fermentation and purification of glucose or sucrose under the action of kojic enzyme. It works by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. Grand Kojic can also inhibit the activity of n-hydroxyindoleate (DHICA) oxidase and block the polymerization of dihydroxyindole (DHI). This makes it a rare single whitening agent that can simultaneously inhibit a variety of enzymes involved in melanin production.
Grand Alpha-Arbutin is a highly valued cosmetic ingredient used in skincare formulations. Through a bioenzymatic transformation, it acquires a single α configuration, ensuring exceptional purity and stability.
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is a highly stable, oil-soluble derivative of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). It is formed by esterifying Vitamin C with four molecules of isopalmitic acid (a fatty acid), making it more stable than traditional water-soluble forms of Vitamin C. This esterification allows the compound to remain intact for a longer period of time in skincare products, providing an effective alternative to pure ascorbic acid or water-soluble Vitamin C derivatives.
Ascorbyl Glucoside (also known as Vitamin C Glucoside) is a stable derivative of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), created by conjugating ascorbic acid with glucose at the 2-position of the molecule. This modification enhances the stability of ascorbic acid, as glucose serves as a protective group that prevents oxidation, making Ascorbyl Glucoside suitable for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, especially in products that require longer shelf life.
VC-MAP, a water-soluble whitening agent, exhibits remarkable properties that make it highly valuable in cosmetic formulations. Upon skin absorption, it demonstrates the ability to effectively counteract the detrimental effects of ultraviolet ray exposure, neutralize oxygen free radicals, stimulate collagen synthesis, prevent pigmentation effectively, and address various skin discolorations. The result is a well-hydrated, supple, smooth, and stable complexion. Notably, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is non-toxic and non-irritating, establishing it as an excellent additive for contemporary functional whitening cosmetics.
VC-EAA 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid is a stable, water- and oil-soluble derivative of pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that offers all of the primary benefits vitamin C is known for, such as brightening, wrinkle reduction, visible firming, fading hyperpigmentation to restore a more even skin tone and offsetting numerous triggers of environmental damage.
As a modified and more stable version of pure vitamin C, 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid must be converted to vitamin C within skin by sodium-dependent proteins. This process within skin’s surface layers helps ensure skin benefits.
