Potassium Methoxysalicylate （4MSK）

Product efficacy:

Whitening balance skin color, relieve and reduce excessive pigmentation, correct epidermal atypical hyperplasia, perfect keratinization process, promote the discharge of melanin, prevent freckles, stains, smooth skin.

Product characteristics:

Potassium methoxsalicylate can correct the epidermal atypical hyperplasia, keratinization and atrophy, has the effect of improving the keratinization process, promote the smooth discharge of melanin; At the same time, it also promotes the enlargement and increase of transparent keratin protein particles, thickening of grain layer, thinning of cuticle, accelerating the layering of keratin cells, and smoothing and whitening of skin.

Potassium methoxylsalicylate not only has the same effect of inhibiting melanin production as the existing whitening effective ingredients, but also has the effect of regulating keratinocyte differentiation, and can improve the skin condition prone to excessive deposition of melanin.

 

4MSK acts on melanin in two major ways

1、Inhibit melanin synthesis

In the study of whitening ingredients, an important part is of course the analysis of the actual production of melanin and the inhibition of tyrosinase. Simply put, the result is that 4MSK can inhibit melanin production and tyrosinase activity under certain concentration environment.

2、Accelerate melanin metabolism
In the Shiseido study, we observed the differentiation expression of this panel in a 3D cultured skin model, focusing on the level of “tropomyosin” in the granular layer, and the results showed that UV irradiation of the skin model with 4MSK significantly inhibited the decrease in tropomyosin expression caused by UV. This observation indicates that 4MSK is functionally similar to salicylic acid in terms of its ability to promote smooth melanin metabolism in in vitro models.

Applicaiton:

Suitable for all kinds of skin care products, recommended for whitening, freckle removal, smooth skin formula.

Recommended addition amount: 1% - 3%.
