Factory Supply Decapeptide-12 (Lumixyl) 137665-91-9

Product Introduction: Decapeptide-12 (Lumixyl) is a cosmetic ingredient that inhibits melanin formation, fades pigmentation spots, reduces pigment deposition, and evens and brightens skin tone.

The mechanism of action: Whether the skin is fair or dark mainly depends on the ability of melanocytes to synthesize melanin. In the basal layer of the epidermis, melanocytes are distributed among the cells, and the tyrosinase they contain can oxidize tyrosine into polysaccharides. After a series of metabolic processes, melanin can be finally generated. The more melanin is produced, the darker the skin; conversely, the fairer the skin. Tyrosinase has a unique dual catalytic function and is the key enzyme for melanin synthesis in the body. Tyrosinase inhibitors can treat common pigmentary skin diseases such as freckles, chloasma and senile spots. They mainly exert their whitening effect by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase and thereby suppressing melanin synthesis.
