Common Name(s): Gsh,gamma-l-glutamyl-l-cysteinyl-glycine,reduced glutathione
CAS Number: 70-18-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the body's primary antioxidant defense while reducing melanin production for brightening.
Why It's Used: Master antioxidant for comprehensive oxidative stress protection alongside unique melanin-shifting brightening action (pheomelanin preference).
How It Works: Three-amino acid tripeptide (gamma-glu-cys-gly). thiol group (-sh) provides electron donation for antioxidant activity and detoxification conjugation. shifts melanin synthesis from eumelanin (dark brown) toward pheomelanin (light yellow-red) for brightening. regenerates vitamins c and e from their oxidized forms.

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Glutathione's melanin-shifting mechanism (eumelaninโpheomelanin) is entirely different from tyrosinase inhibition. even in the presence of active tyrosinase, glutathione shifts the enzymatic product from dark eumelanin to lighter pheomelanin by chelating copper from the tyrosinase active site and competing for dopa substrate.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phenoxyethanol's widespread adoption as the primary cosmetic preservative followed the phaseout of parabens from many formulations in the 2000s-2010s. despite having a comparable or better safety profile to parabens, it is often cited in 'free-from' formulations โ a consumer perception issue rather than a scientific safety concern.
