Alternative to Sulforawhite and Eye Cream Formula Review

Regarding your question about alternatives to Sulforawhite that inhibit alpha-MSH, as the staff mentioned, Sulforawhite's effectiveness was not found to be cost-effective. A recommended alternative that works by inhibiting alpha-MSH and has clearer research supporting its efficacy is Tranexamic Acid.

Tranexamic Acid helps to brighten the skin and reduce the formation of melanin pigment, making it suitable for addressing blemishes caused by sunlight. It is commonly used in many popular skincare products.

We offer Tranexamic Acid in two forms:

• Tranexamic Acid (Trans-White™): This is the standard powder form that can be dissolved in the water phase of your formulation. The recommended usage rate for cosmetic purposes is up to 3%. Using more than 3% requires registration as a melasma treatment and may cause skin irritation. Avoid use around the eyes or lips.
• Nano-TXA™ (Tranexamic Acid Nano Emulsion, Penetration Base): This is a nano-emulsion form that allows for approximately 2 times better penetration into the skin compared to the standard form. It can also help other water-soluble active ingredients penetrate better. It is a liquid base that can be mixed into the water phase.

Regarding the eye cream formula you provided:

• Water 50.3%
• Silky serum base for eyes 35%
• Regu-age 5%
• Beta glucan 5%
• B3 2%
• NAG 2%
• Preservative 0.5%
• EDTA 0.2%

As confirmed by the staff, the formula is compatible, and the mixing steps you described (dissolving actives in water, then gradually adding to the serum base) are correct.

We hope this information is helpful for your formulation!
