Malt Secrets new skin brightening potential revealed
December 8, 2011
Malt Secrets will be launched in Asia during the In-Cosmetics Asia 2011 in Bangkok.
Gattefossé will introduce this ingredient to the Asian market, with new test results on its brightening potential, reinforcing the activity of this already successful active.
MALT SECRETS have been tested in Vitro, versus placebo, on Human melanocytes (B16 cell line), to demonstrate its ability to inhibit the melanin synthesis, thanks to its Ferulic Acid content.
The results demonstrate the excellent activity of MALT SECRETS to inhibit the melanin synthesis, with a clear dose response effect.
Furthermore, there is a highly significant difference between MALT SECRETS and Placebo.
MALT SECRETS used at 1% in vitro inhibits 100% of the melanin synthesis induced by NDP-MSH.
MALT SECRETS not only inhibits the melanin synthesis induced by NDP-MSH, but also reduces the basal melanin content.
Better than Kojic Acid?
Kojic acid is well known for its melanin synthesis inhibition properties. Kojic acid is very effective, but its main problem is its cytotoxicity, reason why Kojic acid is now banned in many countries.
We compared the cytotoxicity of Kojic acid and MALT SECRETS.
MALT SECRETS is a totally safe ingredient, with no cytotoxic effect at the recommended use level (1%), while Kojic acid used at approx. 0.3% already kill 80% of the cells.
MALT SECRETS act on the melanin synthesis biochemical pathway. Its activity is not due to an effect on cell viability.
Conclusion
MALT SECRETS is an excellent ingredient for all anti-aging lines, thanks to its powerful anti-oxidant activity.
Now, thanks to this new proven lightening activity, MALT SECRETS will be useful to fight pigmentation disorders.
Suitable for whitening applications and for anti-aging products, uneven skin complexion and age spots can now be targeted successfully.
