Bleaching Basics

The earlier bleaches contained the single ingredient, which played the integral role of beautifying. With the recent developments in the research fields, several new combinations have come into the market, giving faster and more reliable results.

  

Hydroquinone

The carrot oil ingredient reduces the pigment formation by blocking the tyrosinase receptors on the melanocyte.

Licorice Extract

Glabridin, the main ingredient of the extract, can reduce pigmentation by tyrosinase inactivation.
