What Are Whitening & Anti-Wrinkle Actives?

  • Whitening Actives are used to brighten the complexion, fade dark spots, and improve uneven skin tone by inhibiting melanin synthesis or exfoliating pigmented cells.

  • Anti-Wrinkle Actives work by stimulating collagen production, improving skin hydration, reducing oxidative stress, or relaxing facial muscles to smooth fine lines.

Together, these actives support youthful, radiant skin and are key ingredients in both preventive and corrective skincare lines. At Amjad and Zarar Nuc

, we ensure efficacy, stability, and compliance with cosmetic safety regulations.

Types of Whitening & Anti-Wrinkle Actives We Offer

Alpha Arbutin

Alpha Arbutin is a skin-brightening ingredient derived from hydroquinone. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin production. This reduces dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Alpha arbutin is considered safer and more stable than hydroquinone. It is used in serums, creams, and brightening lotions. With regular use, it promotes clearer and more radiant skin.

Beta Arbutin

Beta Arbutin is another form of arbutin, also used for skin-lightening. It gradually reduces pigmentation and age spots by controlling melanin production. While less potent than alpha arbutin, it is still effective and gentler on sensitive skin. It is widely used in Asian skincare formulations. Beta arbutin also provides antioxidant protection against free radicals. It helps maintain skin clarity and a youthful glow.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally present in the body. In skincare, it is used for its skin-brightening and anti-aging effects. It reduces melanin formation, leading to lighter and more even skin tone. Glutathione also detoxifies harmful substances and strengthens immunity. Topical and oral forms are popular in beauty treatments. It is regarded as one of the most effective whitening agents available.

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is a stable derivative of kojic acid with strong skin-lightening properties. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase and reducing melanin production. Unlike pure kojic acid, it is more stable and less prone to oxidation. It is used in creams, serums, and lotions for treating pigmentation. It also provides mild antioxidant benefits to protect skin. This ingredient ensures a brighter, clearer, and more radiant complexion.

Bismuth Subnitrate

Bismuth Subnitrate is a mineral compound used in cosmetics as a pigment and protective agent. It imparts a pearly sheen and soft texture in face powders and foundations. In skincare, it acts as a soothing agent for irritated skin. It is also used in pharmaceutical formulations for its protective effects on mucous membranes. Safe at controlled levels, it adds smoothness to makeup formulations. It has a long history of use in both beauty and medicine.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP)

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable, water-soluble form of Vitamin C. It is known for its antioxidant and skin-brightening properties. SAP reduces pigmentation, promotes collagen production, and protects against UV damage. It is gentler than pure Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), making it suitable for sensitive skin. Widely used in serums and creams, it enhances skin radiance. It also has antibacterial benefits, especially against acne-causing bacteria.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP)

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is another stable derivative of Vitamin C. It offers brightening, anti-aging, and antioxidant benefits. MAP improves skin elasticity by stimulating collagen synthesis. It reduces dark spots, fine lines, and photoaging damage. It is gentle, non-irritating, and suitable for all skin types. Skincare products with MAP provide long-term hydration and even skin tone.

Glycolic Acid 99%

Glycolic Acid is a strong alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) used in exfoliation. At 99% purity, it is a raw material for chemical peels and cosmetic formulations. It penetrates deeply to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Regular use improves skin texture, brightness, and elasticity. It also stimulates collagen, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Due to its strength, it must be used carefully under controlled concentrations.

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) used for acne treatment and exfoliation. It penetrates pores to remove oil and dead skin buildup. It helps reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts. In skincare, it appears in cleansers, toners, and spot treatments. Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, soothing irritated skin. It remains a key ingredient in oily and acne-prone skin solutions.

Lactic Acid

Lactic Acid is a mild alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from milk. It gently exfoliates dead skin cells while improving hydration. Regular use reduces fine lines, pigmentation, and dullness. Lactic acid is often included in chemical peels and brightening serums. It strengthens the skin barrier and promotes smoother texture. Its mild nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin types.

Collasurge (Collagen Aqua Solution)

Collasurge is a collagen-rich aqua solution used in anti-aging skincare. It enhances skin elasticity and firmness by replenishing lost collagen. Collagen also helps reduce wrinkles, dryness, and sagging. This solution is used in serums, creams, and masks for youthful skin. It improves hydration levels, making skin plump and radiant. Collasurge is a premium ingredient in modern cosmetic formulations.

Zinc PCA Powder

Zinc PCA is a zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. It regulates sebum production, making it effective for oily and acne-prone skin. It also provides antimicrobial properties that prevent acne breakouts. Zinc PCA strengthens the skin barrier and reduces irritation. It is commonly used in creams, serums, and shampoos. This ingredient helps maintain clear, balanced, and healthy skin.

Sodium PCA 50%

Sodium PCA is a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) derived from amino acids. At 50% concentration, it is used in skin and haircare formulations. It helps retain skin moisture and prevents dryness.
