What It Does: Provides antioxidant protection from reactive oxygen species, reduces inflammatory cytokine production in skin, and conditions skin surface through the plant's secondary metabolite complex.
Why It's Used: Chosen for its natural origin narrative, traditional use heritage, and multi-functional phytochemical profile that supports several concurrent skin care claims from one ingredient.
How It Works: Polyphenols, terpenoids, and alkaloids in the extract scavenge ros via hydrogen atom transfer, inhibit nf-kb or cox-2 inflammatory pathways, and interact with skin surface proteins for conditioning.

Tranexamic Acid
Common Name(s): Trans-4-aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid,txa,cyklokapron
CAS Number: 1197-18-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides brightening by inhibiting uv-induced plasminogen activation that triggers melanocyte stimulation.
Why It's Used: Novel brightening mechanism โ tranexamic acid targets uv-induced melanocyte stimulation upstream of tyrosinase activity, providing complementary brightening to tyrosinase inhibitors with exceptional tolerability.
How It Works: Lysine analogue binds lysine-binding sites on plasminogen preventing its conversion to plasmin. uv-activated plasmin normally increases keratinocyte arachidonic acid release stimulating melanocyte activity via prostaglandin e2 and alpha-msh. txa blocks this uv-melanocyte signalling cascade upstream of pigment synthesis.
Typically Found In: Brightening serums,anti-melasma products,uv-induced pigmentation
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ lysine analogue brightening

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Tranexamic acid's brightening mechanism was discovered serendipitously โ it was originally a haemostasis drug for reducing surgical bleeding. dermatologists noted that patients receiving txa for bleeding showed improved melasma, leading to investigation that revealed the plasminogenโprostaglandinโmelanocyte signalling cascade as a completely previously unknown brightening target.
