Genes that use signalling pathways are this study’s ideal targets for assessing the efficacy of the main active agents to be developed. In the laboratory, a new brown algae extract has been revealed to us with potential implications for regulating the expression of genes participating in melanogenesis. The results have indeed come to show that the extract is able to inhibit the expression of those genes responsible for melanin synthesis activation, as well as to activate the genes responsible for their degradation. In addition to possessing uncommon properties by virtue of the alga’s iridescence, this extract, called CyWhite, helps to naturally rebalance skin pigmentation
Under the umbrella of skin pigmentation, constitutive pigmentation, which determines every individual’s skin colour, is distinguished from “light-induced” pigmentation, in which supplementary pigmentation mechanisms are triggered in response to sunlight, namely to ultra-viole
