What is Glabridin?
Glabridin, derived from the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra (the small branch of the familiar licorice), is a whitening active substance that can only be extracted from plants and cannot be synthesized chemically. Because of its powerful whitening effect, it is known as "whitening gold".
Whitening mechanism of glabridin
In melanocytes, the tyrosine molecule Q is converted into a precursor of melanin, which requires the help of tyrosinase before it can be further converted into melanin.
Glabridin has a certain similarity with tyrosine in chemical structure. Before tyrosinase and tyrosine molecule Q come into contact, glabridin can bind to tyrosinase first. As a result, the number of tyrosinase that can react with tyrosine is greatly reduced, and the production of melanin naturally becomes pitiful, which reduces the production of melanin from the source.
