- Background
INACLEAR’s development started with a new understanding about the mechanism of human skin pigmentation. A research team from Japan succeeded in demonstrating why hands, palms, and feet soles are always hypo-pigmented regardless of skin color. This is due to DKK-1, a factor only synthesized in the palmo-plantar area by fibroblasts. DKK-1 downregulates melanin synthesis. Inaclear utilizes this pathway for skin brightening.
- Benefits
- 2.2x increase in DKK-1 gene expression
- 44% increase in DKK-1 protein available
- 23.5% decrease in melanin synthesis
- 30% reduction in melanocyte dendricity
- ISO 16128: Natural Index = 0.99
