In order to gain the safest, most effective ingredients for our products, we maintain constant vigilance and ongoing research as to what is out there and how it meets our particular needs. Very often we can turn towards similar industries for ingredient inspiration and objectives.

When it comes to skin lightening and pigment correction, 4-Hexylrescorcinol is the most studied and well-known alkylresorcinol, with history of use in the food and pharmaceutical industries for over 80 years. It is often used for the safe and effective antibrowning agent for shrimp and fresh cut fruits.

Naturally these lightening properties were studied for their effect and safety on human skin, with exciting and positive results.

In a formula combined with Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), Hexylresorcinol has been clinically proven to be four times more effective than Hydroquinone in lightening skin. This provides a superior brightening option with skin protective benefits.

Like many other skin lightening agents, 4-Hexylresorcinol inhibits melanin production. Melanin is the pigment responsible for a vast majority of dark spots and hyper-pigmentation. Melanin production is triggered by UV exposure and genetic propensity. Interfering with melanin production is an excellent method of skin lightening with rapid and visible results.

With such an intense effect on skin lightening, and additional protective benefits, this is the skin-lightening agent of choice. Delivered in a moisturizing and skin smoothing gel, this innovative product promises to stay at the top of the pigment correction market for a long time to come.
