Recommended Ingredients for Skin Whitening Cream

For creating an effective and safe skin whitening body cream, you can consider these ingredients:

  • Hexylresorcinol AF: This ingredient is effective in reducing dark spots and brightening skin tone. It works through multiple mechanisms in the pigmentation process and is supported by research showing good inhibition of Tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin production. It is suitable for use in general body cream formulations.
  • ChromaWhite™ (Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate): This ingredient helps brighten the skin. It has properties that inhibit Tyrosinase and reduce melanin production in skin cells. It is highly stable in formulations and dissolves well in oils, making it suitable for skincare products.
  • AEPWhite™ (Aminoethylphosphinic Acid): This ingredient offers high stability and safety. It rapidly reduces melanin density in the skin through a mechanism different from typical Tyrosinase inhibitors, allowing it to be combined with other ingredients for enhanced efficacy.
  • CosmoWhite™ (1-Methylhydantoin-2-Imide): A popular ingredient in Europe, it helps reduce skin pigmentation. Tests have shown it to be more effective at whitening than Kojic Acid.
  • GlyciWhite™ (Glycinamide HCL): Research indicates it can effectively counteract the melanin production process and is gentle, causing no irritation.
  • MelaninTerminate™ (Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein): This protein extracted from pearls works through a different mechanism by inhibiting the Endothelin process, which helps prevent melanin formation. Continuous use shows visibly clearer skin.
  • Z-White™ (Zinc Glycinate): This ingredient has multiple mechanisms of action in inhibiting melanin production, making it suitable for combining with other ingredients to enhance overall skin brightening efficacy.
  • SclareoWhite™ (Sclareolide, Pure): Extracted from Clary sage roots, it has a good skin whitening effect, especially on skin darkened by UV light. It can be used with other ingredients for enhanced results.
  • Raspberry Ketone Glucoside: In addition to whitening, it acts as an antioxidant, helping to maintain the quality of other unstable whitening ingredients in the formula and boosting whitening efficacy.

Combining several ingredients with different mechanisms of action (Synergistic Effect) in one formula often yields better results than using a single ingredient. However, it is important to study the usage information, recommended concentrations, and precautions for each ingredient before use to create the most effective and safe cream.
