product description

Product Introduction

Glutathione is a tripeptide comprised of three amino acids (cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine), which work in unison when used topically to brighten a dull complexion while offering skin-restoring benefits. L-Glutathione is a powerful, non-enzymatic antioxidant which naturally occurs in the skin where it serves to help defend it against the visible effects of environmental damage. The gradual decline of the natural supply of glutathione in the body is believed to be a key marker of many outward signs of aging.

Glutathione has also been shown to help stabilize and enhance the performance of other antioxidants such as vitamin C, even when used in low concentrations.

Glutathione is an antioxidant present in plants, animals, fungi, and some bacteria. Glutathione is capable of preventing damage to important cellular components caused by sources such as reactive oxygen species, free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides, and heavy metals. Glutathione is naturally found in the skin where it protects the skin against environmental damage.

Glutathione is a potent antioxidant that can help prevent free radical damage to the skin caused by the sun, pollution, and smoking. It is found in many creams and lotions. It is a powerful antioxidant that provides skin-brightening and skin-lightening. It has been called the ‘Wonder drug’ for treating issues related to hyperpigmentation. It reduces acne scars, blemishes, and dark spots.

In the cosmetics industry, Glutathione is often promoted for its potential whitening properties in skin care and is often used for its supposed whitening effects on the skin. As a tripeptide, also known as GSH, it helps to regulate the production of melanin, which is responsible for skin pigmentation. By inhibiting the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, glutathione can help reduce skin discolouration such as freckles, age spots and hyperpigmentation.

L-Glutathione (Reduced Form) plays an important role in preventing oxidative damage to the skin In addition to its many recognized biological functions, Glutathione has also been associated with skin-lightening ability. The role of glutathione as a skin whitener was discovered as a side effect of large doses of Glutathione. Glutathione utilizes different mechanisms to exert its action as a skin-whitening agent at various levels of melanogenesis.

L-Glutathione Reduced also plays an important role as an antioxidant. At a time when our skin is increasingly exposed to environmental stress and free radicals, it provides a protective barrier. Glutathione helps to minimise the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the skin.
