High Performance L-Glutathione Reduced CAS 70-18-8 for Skin Care Glutathione

Glutathione (GSH), also named Reduced Glutathione, is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It can be found in almost every cell of human body. Nowadays, the industrial production of Glutathione is mainly obtained by enzymatic synthesis. In the method, Glutathione has a high purity and good water-solubility. As an active tripeptide with important physiological functions, Glutathione is the most important non-protein sulfhydryl compound in organisms. It has biological activities such as detoxification, anti-oxidation, free radical scavenging, skin-whitening and spot-fading. Therefore, it is widely used in cosmetics, medicine, health care products and other industries. It can be soluble in water greatly and easy to be added into all kinds of skin-whitening cosmetics.

Glutathione Key Functions 

Skin Whitening & Brightening:Inhibits melanin synthesis by reducing tyrosinase activity, fading dark spots and evening skin tone.Neutralizes free radicals that contribute to pigmentation disorders like melasma.

Antioxidant Defense:Scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) from UV exposure and pollution, preventing collagen degradation and premature aging.Protects skin lipids and DNA from oxidative damage.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects:Reduces redness and irritation caused by acne, eczema, or post-procedure inflammation.Calms skin sensitivity and itching.

Hydration & Skin Barrier Support:Improves skin moisture retention by enhancing the stratum corneum’s lipid barrier.Promotes a smoother, plumper complexion.

Hair Health:Combats oxidative stress in hair follicles, reducing breakage and graying.Supports scalp health and keratin production.

Glutathione   Mechanism of Action

Direct Radical Scavenging:Glutathione’s thiol group directly neutralizes free radicals, breaking oxidative chain reactions.

Indirect Antioxidant Support:Regenerates other antioxidants like vitamins C and E, amplifying their effects.

Melanin Regulation:Inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme critical for melanin production, without cytotoxicity.

Cellular Detoxification:Binds to heavy metals and toxins, aiding their elimination from the skin.

1) Added to the surface products, can play a role in the reduction. Not only to make bread to reduce the time to the original one-half or one-third of a substantial improvement in working conditions, and play a strengthening role in food nutrition and other functions.

2) Added to the yogurt and infant food, the equivalent of vitamin C, can play a role in stabilizing agent.

3) Mix it into the fish cake, can prevent the color deepens.

4) Added to meat and cheese and other foods, with enhanced flavor effect.

3. Health medicine:

1) Radiation sickness and radiation safety: radiation, radioactive substances or anticancer drugs caused by leukopenia and other symptoms can play a protective effect.

2) To protect the liver, detoxification, hormone inactivation, promote bile acid metabolism, help absorb fat-soluble vitamins in the digestive tract.

3) Anti-allergy, or systemic or local patients with hypoxemia caused by inflammation, can reduce cell damage and promote repair.

4) To improve certain diseases and symptoms as a secondary drug process. Such as: hepatitis, hemolytic disease, keratitis, cataracts and retinal diseases, such as eye diseases, improve vision.

5) Easy to accelerate acid metabolism, excretion of free radicals, play skin care, anti-aging effect.

Benefits in Cosmetics:

1.Whiten skin and remove freckle

Glutathione can chelate internal and external toxins such as heavy metals. It can prevent skin pigmentation. Also it can inhibit the formation of new melanin and reduce its oxidation. Glutathione alleviates skin problems such as chloasma. It has a great function of lightening skin and removing freckles. Meanwhile, Glutathione is small molecular peptide. So it can easily penetrate cell membrane and be absorbed by the skin, when applied externally. It is an effective cosmetic ingredient for whitening skin

 2.Anti-oxidation

Glutathione's structure contains a lively thiol group-SH. So it is easily oxidized and dehydrogenated. The free radicals can be reduced directly into acidic substances by combining the thiol group with free radicals in the body. Thereby it accelerates the elimination of the free radicals; and fight against free radical damage to the skin. At the same time, Glutathione is a kind of radiation protective agent. It can enable radiation to produce highly active free radicals in living organisms through direct and indirect action. And then Glutathione can clear away these free radicals to achieve its anti-oxidant effect.

3.Isolate PM2.5

Glutathione can isolate the damage of PM2.5 to the skin, when acting on the skin surface.
