Tranexamic Acid
It is a synthetic amino acid, also known as thrombotic acid or tranexamic acid.
It is a protease inhibitor, originally used as a hemostatic drug, and later found to have a significant effect on the treatment of melasma,
so it is widely used in cosmetics to whiten and lighten spots.
Transom acid can achieve whitening effect by interfering with the diffusion of melanin from melanocytes to surrounding cells,
and promoting the shedding of keratinocytes and accelerating the metabolism of melanin. Compared with vitamin C (VC),
it is not easily deactivated by temperature and storage conditions, and is more stable; Compared with nicotinamide,
it does not need to establish tolerance and is relatively mild.

Function of Tranexamic acid
1 Whitening spots:
Tranminic acid can inhibit the activity of rosinase enzyme and melanocytes, prevent pigment aggregation,
and block and clear the deterioration of melanin diffusion caused by ultraviolet irradiation.
This can reduce pigmentation such as melasma and freckles on the skin, and effectively prevent or improve skin pigment
2.Improve skin tone:
After the acid is absorbed by the skin, it can improve the transparency of the overall skin color and the local dull phenomenon,
so as to achieve the role of whitening and removing stains.
3.Stability and absorption:
Transmin acid has high stability, acid and alkali resistance, is not easily affected by temperature environment, and the skin system is easy to absorb,
suitable for light spots, whitening and balancing the overall skin color of the effect of whiteness.
4.Lower inflammation:
Tranmin inhibits angiogenic plasminase and weakens pro-inflammatory factors,
effectively reducing red marks such as red pimple marks or blotchiness.
5.Skin Barrier function
Studies have shown that Tranexamic acid can help restore damaged epidermal osmotic barrier function and improve skin barrier function.
Security:
It is a patented whitening ingredient. Long-term use can effectively whiten the skin and eliminate dark spots.
The highest concentration in general cosmetics is 2%~3%.
