Fashion inspired by EUMELANIN - the most abundant type of human melanin, found in black and brown skin and hair. On a mission to combat colorism & celebrate the natural beauty of all shades of skin.
Melanin is a chemical of fairly low molecular mass (318.3 g/mol, less than twice that of glucose). Its molecular formula is C18H10N2O4. People with darker skin actually do not have more melanocytes than lighter-skinned people; instead, in people with darker skin, a higher fraction of the ...
Arbutin is a white needle-like crystal or powder. It can accelerate the decomposition and excretion of melanin, thereby reducing skin pigmentation, removing stains and freckles, and also bactericidal, anti-inflammatory effect. Mainly used for the preparation of high-grade cosmetics. It is the most...
Taiwanese researchers say that an ancient Chinese herb(药草) 3 iintraditional medicine might reduce the production of melanin(黑色素).The scientists 4 their findings at the yearly meeting of the American Chemical Society.The Chinese herb, which comes from a kind of bush, is 5 than whitening cre...
Although the exact mechanism of action of depigmentation is unknown, the metabolites of monobenzone appear to have a cytotoxic effect on melanocytes. Furthermore, the depigmentation effect might be mediated through the inhibition of tyrosinase, which is essential in the synthesis of melanin pigments, ...

They observed that this agaran (100 μg/mL) was able to inhibit melanin production both in basal level and under α-MSH (α-melanocyte stimulating hormone) treatment, without cell cytotoxicity (Fig. 5). This potent effect was practically the same as that observed for kojic acid at the ...
Factors that contribute to the pathogenicity of black yeasts include the presence of melanin and carotene, formation of thick cell walls, thermo- and osmotolerance, assimilation of aromatic hydrocarbons, and production of extracellular polysaccharides, siderophores, and acidic or alkaline secondary ...

This enzyme is necessary for the production of melanin, the pigment that leads to sun tans, hair color and eye color. Without tyrosinase, there is no melanin. Cystic fibrosis - In cystic fibrosis, the gene that manufactures the protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator is...
