What SANCTUS Says
Product Description:
Sanctus De-Tan Cleanser is designed to curb the effects of deadly tan that grips the skin in almost all seasons. The Sanctus De-Tan Cleanser works by absorbing deep into the pores of the skin. The cleanser with its active ingredients is capable of extracting all the impurities out from the skin cells. The tanning is caused by a pigment known as melanin which is responsible for giving skin its color. Sanctus De-Tan cleanser regulates the melanin deposits and evens out the skin tone. This cleanser is made with beeswax, alpha arbutin, kojic dipalmitate, lemon extracts, sesame oil, sweet almond oil and various other ingredients. It is totally sulphate free and does not cause any adverse reaction on the skin. It is one of the safest face care products.

Ingredients Details
Alpha-arbutin
Common Name(s): 4-hydroxyphenyl-alpha-d-glucopyranoside
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides potent tyrosinase inhibition with improved stability and tolerability over other arbutin forms.
Why It's Used: Premium arbutin โ alpha configuration provides 10ร greater tyrosinase inhibition than beta-arbutin at equivalent concentration, making alpha-arbutin the most effective arbutin form.
How It Works: Alpha-glucoside linkage provides enhanced metabolic stability vs beta-arbutin (less enzymatic hydrolysis to free hydroquinone in skin). inhibits tyrosinase via competitive substrate inhibition (ic50 ~24ฮผg/ml vs beta-arbutin ~525ฮผg/ml โ 20ร more potent). inhibits dopa oxidase step in melanogenesis.
Typically Found In: Brightening serums,anti-spot products,premium lightening

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. use with spf for maximum efficacy. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,vitamin c,alpha-arbutin,tranexamic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Alpha-arbutin's 10โ20ร greater potency vs beta-arbutin at equivalent concentration arises from the alpha-glycosidic bond geometry โ the alpha configuration positions the hydroquinone aglycone at a specific orientation relative to the glucose that fits the tyrosinase active site copper more precisely than the beta isomer's different spatial arrangement.

Beeswax
Common Name(s): Cera alba (white),cera flava (yellow),apis mellifera wax
CAS Number: 8012-89-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides natural wax structure and emolliency for cosmetic texture and lip balm applications.
Why It's Used: The original cosmetic wax โ provides natural, hard-texture structure for lip balms, sticks, and creams with emollient skin conditioning.
How It Works: Complex mixture of esters (wax esters), hydrocarbons (hentriacontane), and fatty acids provides semi-crystalline structure. melting point 62-65ยฐc enables stable solid products. emulsifying capacity from free cerotic acid content.
Typically Found In: Lip balms,cosmetic sticks,creams,natural cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ natural wax
Secondary Functions: Natural wax structure,occlusive conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ low; formulation-dependent
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Beeswax's multi-component wax ester composition (myricyl palmitate as primary component) provides a unique crystalline structure that gives lip balms and cosmetic sticks their characteristic 'dragรฉe' glide โ different from synthetic wax esters that lack this crystalline lattice diversity.
