Many women and men who have a dark complexion wish to have lighter and brighter looking skin. The amount of a compound Melanin determines whether skin is very white or very dark. Dark skinned people have more Melanin, and light skinned people have less of this pigment. An enzyme called Tyrosinase accelerates the rate of Melanin formation in the skin. Compound that inhibit Tyrosinase cause less Melanin to be formed. Until recently, Hydroquinone was the most effective Tyrosinase inhibitor and skin lightener. However, this compound is being banned in most countries because of its high toxocity profile. In our Provenance Solutions Skin Brightening Cream we have chosen to use two "NATURE-BASED" skin lighteners, Citrus Unishiu Extract and Asefetida(Ferula Foetida) Extract. Both have been clinically proven to be very effective (and safe) compounds for lightening the skin.
