    Whitening

    Melanin, the pigment in charge of skin and hair color, is synthesized when skin is exposed to ultraviolet
    light, certain drugs or chemicals. It may also be synthesized under the existence of disease or as a
    result of post-inflammatory response to trauma, chemical peels, laser therapy, or acne. Global market of
    skin whitening, especially market in Asia, is growing at an unprecedented rate. Asians demand for
    products to get purer look, while Europeans endeavor to reduce age spots and freckles. The general
    mechanism of skin whiteners is to reduce the level of tyrosinase, to regulate the activity of tyrosinase, to
    hinder the uptake and distribution of melanosomes in recipient keratinocytes, and/or to promote break
    down of melanin and turnover of pigmented keratinocytes.
    Most of whiteners developed by BioSpectrum, Inc. are multifunctional, meaning that beside the
    whitening activity, they have other skin care activities, such as anti-aging, soothing, anti-inflammation
    and/or anti-oxidation. Efficacy and safety of all of our ingredients is verified in vitro and in vivo.

    Phytoestrogens

    Phytoestrogens are a diverse group of naturally occurring plant-derived hormones. They exert almost
    the same bodily effects as does the human estrogen hormone due to their structural similarity with
    human estrogen. Researchers have been explored the nutritional role of these substances in the
    regulation of cholesterol and post-menopausal symptoms. Phytoestrogens may protect against various
    health disorders, consequently leading to optimum health conditions when the estrogen levels are
    balanced.
    Numerous clinical studies have shown that estrogen helps to preserve collagen content in skin and
    elastic properties of skin while counteracting the negative effects of collagen loss on the skin.
    Phytoestrogens help to restore and maintain skin firmness.

    Product Background

    Some products in the HerbEx Series are made with ingredients
    from Jeju Island, the largest Island in Korea with a very clean
    natural environment and the richest repository of natural
    resources in Korea. We collect plants native to Jeju Island to
    incorporate the island's pureness and moistness into cosmetics.
    The value of Jeju Island was recognized by Biosphere Reserve
    in 2002, World Natural Heritage in 2007, and Global Geopark
    in 2010, making the sub-tropical island the only place in the
    world to receive all three UNESCO recognitions. Jeju Island
    has become a treasure island of environmental assets that the
    world has to preserve.
