Application 

1. Skin whitening

As a natural whitening ingredient, the skin-whitening mechanism of Glabridin mainly includes: 

(1) inhibiting tyrosinase activity; 

(2) inhibiting the activity of dopachrome tautomerase (TRP-2) 

(3) inhibiting the activity of DHICA oxidase; 

(4) exerting the function of endothelin antagonist; 

(5) increasing the total antioxidant capacity of the skin; 

(6) effectively scavenging oxygen free radicals and its chain reaction. Moreover, through these synergistic effects, it effectively prevents the polymerization of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and the production of dopachrome. Thereby Glabridin can disturb and hinder the formation and transport of melanin; and then it inhibits and reduces pigmentation so as to achieve whitening skin effect.
