Résumé : |
In Asia, lighter skin is a desirable feature considered to be a symbol of beauty and femininity, and the use of skin brighteners is widespread due to traditional beliefs. In Western countries, skin brightening agents are applied for the treatment of irregular pigmentation such as age spots and to produce a more even skin tone. Most current skin brightening agents show numerous adverse effects such as high irritant and sensitizing potential, melanocyte cytotoxicity and instability in formulations. Moreover, their lightening activity appears to be quite limited when it is tested in vivo on human volunteers. Dimethylmethoxy chromanyl palmitate (INCI name) is a novel skin brightener that has been tested for efficacy and safety with satisfactory results. The new active does not have any of the side effects that are normally associated with depigmenting agents, presents good efficacy in vitro and in vivo and is unique in that, unlike all other skin brighteners, it has a photoprotective effect. |
