and Technology it shows potential for inhibiting the action of the enzyme tyrosinase which is involved in the synthesis of melanin.
Researhers led by Li-chen Wu from National Chi Nan University.
In terms of melanin formation, in vitro studies with B16F10 cells (a mouse melanoma model) showed a reduction in tyrosinase activity and melanin formation in a dose

scientifically, considering that kojic acid lightens the skin solely by suppressing tyrosinase activity (by inhibiting catecholase activity of tyrosinase), while glycolic acid advances... of cell turnover. Meanwhile, hydroquinone simply works by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase by acting as a melanocyte cytotoxic inhibitor, indicating that not only does a kojic

Chi Nan University have shown that Osmanthus fragrans extract can potentially inhibit the action of the enzyme tyrosinase which is involved in the synthesis of melanin. Melanin is the pigment that is responsible for darkening your skin. (It also gives us sun tans.) In vitro research has shown the extract causes a reduction in tyrosinase activity and melanin
