This innovative formulation introduces a potent, naturally-derived tyrosinase inhibitor from a traditional medicinal plant, offering a superior alternative for the cosmetics industry, particularly in skin-whitening agents. It boasts higher potency with lower IC50 values, fewer side effects, and reduced cytotoxicity compared to current chemical and natural inhibitors. The technology is eco-friendly and cost-effective, with potential applications in cosmetics, food, and agriculture for anti-browning and skin-depigmentation properties. This breakthrough addresses the need for safer, more efficient tyrosinase inhibitors.
