LACTIC ACID
It is one of the smallest AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) well appreciated in
cosmetics for its beneficial virtues. Naturally present in various botanicals, this
acid helps to enhance skin aspect and to improve dead cells removal so as to
have a brighter complexion.
VITAMIN C
Also called ascorbic acid, this vitamin is present in various plants and fruits. It is
renowned for its anti-radical proprieties but also for its action on tyrosinase
activity. It helps to lower it and thus, to reduce uneven pigmentation to obtain
a uniform, light and radiant skin.

… Melan’oWhite
helps to answer all the
skin tone concerns
From Thai to Brazilian, from Chinese to African, skin lightening is a global and
significant trend.
It exists more than 66 skin colors and most of them have one thing in common : a
non uniform complexion.
Melan’oWhite is the ideal answer thanks to its high natural content in lactic acid and
vitamin C that directly acts on the tyrosinase activity and the cell renewal, to make
skin clearer and more uniform.

Melano-modulatory effect of Melan’oWhite
Aim
Evaluate the “melano-modulatory” effect of Melan’oWhite
in a normal
human melanocytes monolayers model.
Method
Confluent monolayers of normal human melanocytes are obtained by cell
culture of 4 years old subjects. They are incubated for a 72-hour period at
37°C, without and then, with Melan’oWhite
directly solubilized in the
culture medium. At the end of the incubation period, melanin content of
the melanocytes is quantified by a spectrophotometric method and a
comparison is made between treated cells and non treated cells (control).
Results
Significant decrease of melanin intracellular content
after 72hours

Aim
Evaluate the depigmentation effect of Melan’oWhite
against placebo on
reconstructed human pigmented epidermis.
Method
Reconstructed human pigmented epidermis, aged day 10, are incubated
at 37°C with 5% CO2 during 48 hours. Then, they are transferred in wells-
plate with growth medium and tested products. Kojic acid and
Melan’oWhite
are formulated at 4% to be topically tested and then,
tested in medium respectively at 250 μM and 1% in solution. Afterwards,
those products are evaluated against placebo (formulated without any
active molecule) during 3 days. At the end of the study, the synthesis of
melanin is measured after extraction of the melanin contained in each
epidermis.
Results
Significant inhibition of melanin synthesis against placebo

Some words about EX VIVO method
An innovative method
Melan’oWhite
Skin explants
Effectiveness proven by an innovative technique: ex vivo test on RHTE
RHTE (Reconstructed Human Tanned Epidermis) are obtained by culturing adult
human keratinocytes in presence of melanocytes phototype VI (dark skin). They
have a totally differentiated epidermal layer composed of a renewal layer, a
Malpighian layer and a functional horny layer.
To quantify the melanin, RHTE are transferred into a kit with 6 wells (1 well = 1
epidermal unit) in addition with a culture medium.
Tested formulas (see ex vivo graph page 5) are directly topically applied at
RHTE surface (1 μL). At the same time, a solution of each product is added to
the culture medium (kojic acid : 250 μM and Melan’oWhite
: 1%).
After a 3-day treatment, kits are maintained 48-hours more, before melanin
extraction and analysis of cell viability (MTT). For melanin, each epidermis is
removed from the polycarbonate insert by cutting out the filter on which the
tissues have grown. The filters are then plunged into Soluene (Perkin Elmer) and
heated at 100°C during 45 minutes. Afterwards, the supernatants absorbance is
measured in triplicate and converted into synthesized melanin content.
Finally, the percentage of melanin synthesis inhibition is given according to
placebo results.

Efficacy measurement on lightening effect
Aim
Evaluate and compare Melan’oWhite
lightening efficiency against
placebo.
Population
23 Asian female volunteers, aged from 18 to 60 years old, with all skin types.
Method
One daily application (in the evening) of a 4% Melan’oWhite
emulsion
and placebo emulsion, on randomized inner forearm during 28 and 56
days. At the end of both periods, parameters L*a*b and ITA° are measured
by chromametry. Results are given for L* and ITA° which give the best
description of a lightening effect.
L* = Luminance which represent the relative brightness from total darkness (L*=0) to absolute
white (L*100)
ITA° = Individual Typological Angle Pigmentation degree calculated with ITA° = Arctg [(L*-
