Whitening Ingredients and Photosensitivity

Based on the information available, most of the whitening ingredients you listed do not cause photosensitivity:

• GlucoBright™ (Acetyl Glucosamine)
• Alpha-Arbutin
• Tranexamic Acid
• Kojic Acid Dipalmitate

These ingredients work to reduce melanin production or address hyperpigmentation without typically increasing the skin's sensitivity to sunlight.

French Pine Bark Extract is noted for its antioxidant properties and may even offer some photoprotective benefits, helping to protect the skin from UV rays, although it is not a substitute for sunscreen.

However, Willow Bark Extract, which contains natural Salicylic Acid, is an exfoliant. Exfoliating ingredients can make the skin more susceptible to sun damage. Therefore, it is important to use adequate sun protection when using products containing Willow Bark Extract or any other exfoliating agent.
