Safe, all-natural ingredients
Another distinctive characteristic of Meladerm is that it does not contain harmful ingredients such as steroids, mercury and hydroquinone which are typical of other skin care products but come with several side effects with prolonged use. The product is composed of Meladerm ingredients that are both safe and effective. These include alpha arbutin, mulberry, niacinamide, bearberry, licorice, embilica powder, lemon juice extracts, kojic and lactic acid. All these components carry the lightening properties of hydroquinone sans the adverse effects.
Alpha Arbutin is a pure water soluble biosynthetic ingredient that has been proven to restrict the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for catalyzing tyrosine into melanin (the substance responsible for skin color). Niacinamide or Vitamin B3, on the other hand, restricts the transfer of melanosomes to keratinocytes (from melanocytes), therefore restricting skin pigmentation. In addition, Niacinamide has been proven to reduce acne.
Bearberry Extract, also known as Beta Arbutin works the same way as its Alpha counterpart, only that A-Arbutin is more effective and more expensive to manufacture. Licorice Extract also prevents tyrosinase activation and has anti-inflamatory proberties. Mulberry and Lemon Juice Extracts are incorporated in small concentrations to maximize their lightening properties.
Kojic acid is another natural ingredient that is incorporated as an alternative to hydroquinone. This acid is derived from rice malt fermentation during the production of sake or Japanese rice wine. It is commonly used in Asian food and is now proven effective in reducing melanin production as well as in treating age spots.
An effective alternative to hydroquinone is Kojic Acid, which is derived from malting rice’s fermentation-a common occurrence when making Japanese sake. Lactic Acid is one of the AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) ingredients of Meladerm, together with Glycolic Acid, that aids the other active ingredients to farther penetrate the skin. Some other active Meladerm ingredients are Vitamin C, Gigawhite, and Tego Cosmo C.
