If you have pigmentation issues, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine is something to look at. It is an amino acid (Phenylalanine) derived molecule that is thought to hinder the pigmentation process in a unique way by being a so-called MSH-antagonist.
Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine is a compound that includes amino acids and lipid residue, used in cosmetics and personal care products, specifically whitening formulas, to prevent skin cells from producing melanin pigmentation.Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine inhibits melanotropin, a melanin stimulator found in the skin.Melanotropin controls tyrosinase activity (tyrosinase being an essential enzyme in the production of melanin), melanin (eumalanin) synthesis and melanosome; therefore, by preventing the production of melanotropin, the pigmentation process is reduced or halted.
SepiwhiteTM (Undecylenoyl phenylalanine) is a molecule that has been scientifically proven to:Have a dramatic lightening effect on skin pigmentation.Unlike harmful hydroquinone, Undecylenoyl phenylalanine has been shown in scientific trials and dermatological tests to be safe, fast and effective in controlling hyperpigmentation.Undecylenoyl phenylalanine is an organic compound. This ingredient acts as a melanotropin inhibitor to help prevent the synthesis of melanin.
Undecylenoyl phenylalanine controls the formation and dispersion of melanin, acting as a catalyst to lighten, repair and prevent:Liver spots;Sun spots;Age spots;Hyperpigmentation due to sun exposure, hormonal disorders or irritation.
