Your Skin is the most versatile organ in your body. Without the skin, we would not have any protection against the harmful ultra - violet radiation, injuries and germs invading from outside. Our sense of touch would not work without it. The skin reacts to the outside stimuli and becomes red, brown or even gets goose pimples. Now, especially in summers, our skin is often exposed to ultra - violet radiation, that can damage it. A pigment called Melanin is produced in the skin to protect against th... Read More

This means that kojic acid works very well to brighten skin and reduce the appearance of age spots, sun spots freckles and other signs of hyperpigmentation such as melasma and chloasma. There is now a very useful ingredient to fight hyperpigmentation (dark spots on the skin), reduce the marks left behind from acne breakouts, fade freckles and age spots or just generally brighten the skin. Kojic acid works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the essential enzyme necessary for the melanin formation. This means that kojic acid is not “bleaching” the skin, but preventing dark spots from being produced from the over-production of skin pigment.• What Is Kojic Acid?Kojic acid is an all-natural compound derived from fungi – sort of like mushrooms. That means that kojic acid is completely natural and not something that’s man-made in a laboratory by a group of scientists and dermatologists.ArbutinArbutin is a natural skin lightener that is derived from cranberry plants. Arbutin is a derivative of hydroquinone but does not have any of the side effects. Rather than killing off cells, it prevents the cells from producing excess pigmentation. Medical studies demonstrate that arbutin is effective and since it comes from plants, it is considered safer than many chemical depigmenting agents used to bleach skin. Octinoxate 7.5 Octinoxate is an organic compound also known as octyl methoxycinnamate. This ester is formed when methoxycinnamic acid and 2-ethylhexanol combine, resulting in octinoxate, a clear liquid that is insoluble in water. This ingredient is used exclusively in sunscreens and other makeup products.Octinoxate protects the skin from absorbing ultraviolet rays from the sun and, thus, becoming sunburned. As a result, octinoxate also protects the skin from sun damage and reduces the signs associated with aging, including sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Octinoxate is the most widely used sunscreen ingredient. It is unlikely to sensitize skin, thus explaining its widespread use in sunscreens and cosmetics products. Octinoxate in cosmetics products offers similar UV protection. Moisturizers, foundations, and other cosmetics that serve dual purposes as both makeup and sun protection often contain octinoxate. Octinoxate in cosmetic products also works as a UV light absorber, protecting the products from deterioration.VITAMIN – E Skin Protection Effects of Vitamin E.Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and prevent cellular damage from occurring.
