Octadecenedioic acid (ODA white)
The derivative obtained by the fermentation of natural, vegetable oleic acid inhibits the entire melanin synthesis procedure. Beginning with the cell nucleus, ODA white slows down the formation of tyrosine and thus the enzymatic oxidation of the substance, i.e. the formation of melanin and „tanning“. Test subjects of the substance experienced a decrease in melanin content by up to 22% and an increase in brightness by up
to 11% within eight weeks.
SymWhite
Pinosylvin, a natural agent from the heartwood of pine, serves as an example of the molecular structure of SymWhite. In the pine, pinosylvin serves as a natural tyrosinase inhibitor to protect the tree from fungicides. In humans, tyrosinase inhibition leads to an inhibition of melanin formation in the skin and hair.
CellActive White
CellActive White works on two levels. Watercress extract and complexed zinc block the tyrosinase, the key enzyme for melanin formation. Vitamin B3 and the Essential Cell Boost-Factor influence the transport of melanin. Vitamin B3 thereby inhibits the distribution of melanin in the keratinocytes. The Essential Cell Boost-Factor promotes the formation of proteins that contribute to an equal pigment dispersion in the skin.
Vitamin C derivative
Vitamins are essential for the body; this is very similar in cosmetics. Since vitamin C is not stable enough, a derivative with a slightly modified structure is created to absorb the most important substances. Vitamin C penetrates the skin, is stored in the skin cells and strengthens the skin from the inside. Vitamin C is also known for strengthening the vascular system, immune stimulation and for UV protection.
Bisabolol
The main active ingredient of chamomile oil has anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. Whereas other agents work in chamomile, bisabolol is isolated and is thus far less allergenic. Moreover, bisabolol has been shown to be active against pigment spots. This effect is believed to be a side effect of the anti-inflammatory effect since inflammatory reactions of the skin are one of the causes of hyperpigmentation.
