Spotlight:
Kojic Acid: A by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice, for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine. It is a mild inhibitor of the formation of pigment in plant and animal tissues.
Green Tea: green tea extract is a powerful antioxidant which makes it ideal for anti-aging formulations. Catechin can penetrate into a cell, thereby protecting it from free radicals and other damage.Additionally, green tea extract inhibits collagenase, an enzyme that breaks down collagen, so skin remains firm and elastic.Green tea extract can even extend a product’s SPF.It acts as an antibacterial agent that eliminates acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation in the pores, and decreases excess sebum production.It also reduces skin swelling which helps to calm skin conditions such as rosacea and psoriasis. Due to the caffeine content, green tea extract also reduces puffiness around the eyes and eliminates water retention.
Arbutin: A glycosylated hydroquinone extracted from the bearberry plant in the genus Arctostaphylos among many other medicinal plants, primarily in the Ericaceae family. Applied topically, it inhibits tyrosinase and thus prevents the formation of melanin. Arbutin is therefore used as a skin-lightening agent.
