4. Core Biological Mechanism & Efficacy

  1. Competitive MC1R Receptor Antagonist (Core Depigment Mechanism)
    Biomimetic peptide that competitively binds to melanocyte MC1R receptor, blocks α-MSH signal transmission, inhibits intracellular cAMP elevation, fundamentally suppresses tyrosinase activation and melanin synthesis.
  2. Gentle Brightening & Fade Hyperpigmentation
    Reduces sun spots, age spots, freckles, post-inflammatory pigmentation and chloasma; evens uneven skin tone without cytotoxicity to melanocytes, milder than hydroquinone or kojic acid.
  3. Inhibit Melanosome Transfer
    Restrains melanosome delivery from melanocytes to keratinocytes, prevents skin darkening and dullness caused by UV irradiation.
  4. Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Oxidation Auxiliary Effect
    Scavenges ROS free radicals, relieves inflammatory stress induced by ultraviolet rays, reduces inflammatory pigmentation.
  5. Sensitive Skin Friendly Brightening Agent
    No irritation, no photosensitivity; suitable for long-term brightening care of sensitive and fragile skin.

5. Application Fields & Recommended Dosage

5.1 Brightening & Depigmentation Skincare (Main Application)

Whitening serum, spot correction essence, brightening toner, anti-chloasma cream, post-sun repair mask
  • Recommended addition: 0.001% ~ 0.08% (w/w)

5.2 Anti-Photoaging Daily Skincare

Anti-dullness lotion, UV defense repair cream, antioxidant brightening emulsion
  • Recommended addition: 0.001% ~ 0.05% (w/w)

Formula Operation Tips

Optimal formulation pH: 4.0–6.0; compatible with tranexamic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C derivatives, glutathione; add at low-temperature late emulsification stage.

6. Safety Profile

  • Non-irritating to facial skin and mucosa at standard cosmetic dosage
  • Non-sensitizing, non-phototoxic, no contact allergy risk
  • No cytotoxicity to melanocytes and keratinocytes, excellent biocompatibility
  • Safe for long-term continuous use in whitening skincare series

7. Storage & Packaging

  • Storage Condition: Hermetic nitrogen-filled aluminum foil vacuum bag; long-term storage at -20°C, cool dry light-proof warehouse; short-term storage ≤4°C; avoid repeated opening & high temperature exposure
