Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessWHITE SEED

A Multi-Pathway Approach to Skin Brightening

AccessWHITE SEED achieves superior brightening results by targeting hyperpigmentation through multiple biological pathways.

  • Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Inhibits the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes, preventing excess pigment from reaching the skin surface to reduce dark spots and promote an even tone.
  • Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract: Rich in flavonoids (e.g., baicalin); acts as a potent antioxidant and a natural tyrosinase inhibitor to slow the initial steps of melanin production.
  • Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Seed Extract: High in antioxidants that help shield skin from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors that can trigger overproduction of melanin.
  • Lactobacillus Ferment: A postbiotic that supports a healthy skin microbiome and strengthens the skin barrier. Fermentation can enhance penetration and bioavailability of co-actives.

Formulation Guidelines

AccessWHITE SEED is a water-soluble liquid that integrates easily into the water phase of serums, creams, and toners. For optimal stability and performance, add in the water phase or during cool-down below 40°C (104°F). The recommended final formulation pH is 5.0–7.0. It is compatible with common cosmetic actives such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C derivatives, and other botanical extracts.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Multi-Target Action: Addresses pigmentation by inhibiting melanosome transfer (Niacinamide) and suppressing tyrosinase activity (Scutellaria) for comprehensive brightening.
  • Antioxidant Protection: Botanical antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and support defense against UV and pollution-induced discoloration.
  • Microbiome Support: Postbiotic Lactobacillus Ferment promotes a balanced skin microbiome and a stronger barrier to reduce irritation triggers.
  • Enhanced Bioavailability: Fermentation can improve absorption and the overall efficacy of the active blend.
  • Excellent Stability: Performs well in a skin-friendly pH range (5.0–7.0) suitable for diverse formats.
