Used in cosmetic and skincare formulations for its skin-brightening and antioxidant properties. It helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, an enzyme involved in melanin production. Offers a more stable and effective alternative to traditional whitening agents like arbutin or hydroquinone. Suitable for products targeting uneven skin tone, including serums, creams, and lotions. Its natural origin and dual action—pigmentation control and protection against oxidative stress—make it popular in clean beauty and anti-aging products.
