Octadecenedioc Acid (O.D.A.WHITE)

Description

O.D.A. White™ is a skin brightening ingredient with a new mechanism of action inhibiting the entire metabolic pathway of melanin synthesis from the nucleus of the melanocyte. By reducing the level of tryosinase mRNA, tyrosinase and melanin production is decreased. It provides skin brightening by helping to reduce melanin synthesis. Octadecenediodic acid is obtained by biofermentation from natural and vegetable oleic acid.

Octadecenedioic acid = oil-control + pigmentation corrector + acne support in one ingredient
