Description
Infinity Ingredients is the UK distributor of Melanostatine® 5 from IFF Lucas Meyer Cosmetics.
Melanostatine® 5 is an Oligopeptide with a high affinity for MC1-R.
Melanostatine® 5 is a Biomimetic Peptide antagonist specific to α-MSH (Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone).
As an antagonist, Melanostatine® 5 competes against the natural ligand (α-MSH) on its specific receptor (MC1-R) to prevent any further activation of the Tyrosinase, and thus blocking Melanin synthesis, stopping unwanted pigmentation, allowing for control over skin tone and brown spots. China compliant.
