Natori Lumiwhite PRC
Phenylethyl Resorcinol
Natori Lumiwhite PRC is a whitening agent that can effectively inhibit the synthesis of melanin by acting on multiple targets of the melanin synthesis pathway. It possesses strong anti-oxidant properties, disrupting the formation of melanin which is an oxidation process. Additionally, it removes harmful free radicals, targets wrinkles and resists aging. The anti-oxidant effect of phenylethyl resorcinol is approximately 40% higher than that of Vitamin E and BHT at the same concentration. Its low molecular weight enables easy penetration into the stratum corneum and solubility in oil systems.
