PhytoPharmacon has several plant extracts that has been standardized for use in skin whitening products. They are enriched in marker compounds that are not only potent inhibitors of the endothelia receptor but also block the biosynthesis of endothelin-1; thus providing an effective block of the endothelin pathway and potentially melanogenesis. Melanocytes are the cells that produce mela-nin, a pigment responsible for the pigmentation of both skin and hair. Melanocytes produce more melanin after UV expo-sure, and mainly when grown with keratinocytes. After exposure to UV, keratinocytes produce several peptides including endothelin that stimulate melanogenesis. Endothelin binds to the endothelin receptor located on melanocytes and stimulates melanin production. Endothelin also stimulates tyrosinase expression and activity. A Standardized extract specifically developed for the skin lightening.
