Wakamine® 1% or XP is a potent lightening active derived from the brown macroalgae Undaria pinnatifida, commonly known as Wakame, harvested in Brittany. This ingredient effectively inhibits tyrosinase activity to reduce melanin production, resulting in a rapid and superior skin lightening effect compared to Arbutin. Ideal for mature and Asian skin, Wakamine® is a valuable addition to whitening product formulations, offering the promise of achieving porcelain-like skin.
