A popular trend in skin care, especially in the Asian market, is skin lightening. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, as well as melanin synthesis cause uneven skin tones, age spots and other unwanted color disruptions in the skin.
Conventional cosmetics usually tackle this problem with hydroquinone; but with its adverse effects the natural products industry is always looking for alternatives with less side effects and natural roots. Turmeric has been studied for its ability to reduce photodamage on skin; more specifically, Sabinsa’s SabiWhite®, a natural extract derived from turmeric rhizome, has demonstrated lightening properties in in vitro and clinical studies.
