Nowadays, the common cosmetic whitening ingredients on the market are Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Arbutin, and Glabdiridn. Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and other high-potency actives are more effective in whitening. Many businesses are in the development of whitening products to enhance the concentration of ingredients, and when the concentration is too high, it will stimulate the skin, resulting in redness, itching, and other problems, long-term stimulation will trigger hyperpigmentation but appear darker skin color.

There is one ingredient that works just as gently, and there is also a great tyrosinase inhibiting effect that reduces melanin at the source, and that ingredient is Glabridin - known as the Whitening Gold of the skincare world.

Why is Glabridin known as "whitening gold"?

First, the raw material is very precious, the Glycyrrhiza glabra source is small, the extraction amount is small, 1000 kilograms of Glycyrrhiza glabra roots can only extract less than 100g of Glabridin, and it is difficult to purify at low extraction rate, and the price of raw materials is comparable to gold, so at present only a few on the high-grade whitening cosmetic products, only to choose the Glabridin as the main efficacy of the main ingredient.

Secondly, the IC50 value of melanin inhibition by experimental testing found that the inhibitory effect of Glabridin on melanin is 232 times that of vitamin C. Glabridin can not only prevent blackening but also help the skin white back, in the whitening ingredients can be said to be both inside and outside, not to be missed. Moreover, the ingredient is natural and non-irritating, which is why it has the status of gold level. 

What does Glabridin do to the skin?

Glabridin can whiten from 4 pathways to achieve the whole chain of source, base, middle, and surface layer to suppress darkness:

1: Soothing and anti-irritation, intercepting the signal of melanin formation stimulated by external factors such as UV rays, stress, and pollution from the source.

2: Inhibiting tyrosinase activity at the bottom of the skin, blocking melanin synthesis.

3: Inhibit pro-melanocyte hormone in the middle layer of the skin, cutting off the path of melanin to the epidermis transit propulsion, so that the complexion can not become darker.

4: Promotes the reduction of melanin and resists oxidative dullness.

Under the joint action of the four pathways, Glabridin will be able to achieve the purpose of efficient whitening, repairing skin dullness, redness acne, and acne marks, so that the skin back to the natural delicate white.

It is worth mentioning that, according to the US FDA test, Glabridin is a safe ingredient that does not cause skin irritation.
