Underarm Whitening and Chicken Skin Reduction Cream

To make a cream for underarm whitening and reducing "chicken skin" (keratosis pilaris-like texture), you can use ingredients from the following two main groups as recommended by the staff:

1. For Reducing Chicken Skin

It is recommended to use Salicylic Acid EZ at a concentration of 1-5% as advised by the staff. Salicylic Acid, or BHA, is an ingredient that helps exfoliate skin cells and dissolve blockages in pores, which is one cause of the "chicken skin" texture. This helps to make the underarm skin smoother. Salicylic Acid EZ is a water-soluble and stable form suitable for use in gel or cream formulations.

2. For Skin Brightening (Whitening)

You can choose from various Whitening ingredients based on their mechanism of action and suitability for a cream formula, such as:

• Phenylethyl Resorcinol: An ingredient that helps brighten the skin. It is highly effective in inhibiting the Tyrosinase enzyme, the key enzyme in melanin production, and also acts as a good antioxidant. It is suitable for use in high-efficacy cream or lotion formulas.
• MelaninTerminate™: A protein extracted from pearls containing oligopeptides that inhibit melanin production through a different mechanism than typical whitening agents. It blocks the Endothelin Receptor, preventing melanin formation. Suitable for use in lotion or cream formulas.
• AEPWhite™ (Aminoethylphosphinic Acid): A water-soluble whitening ingredient with high stability and safety. It works by stabilizing DOPAchrome, preventing its transformation into melanin. It can be effectively combined with tyrosinase inhibitors for a synergistic effect.

You can choose to use just one or two whitening ingredients, or combine them in your cream formula to achieve the desired results.
