Product Overview
Tranexamic Acid, also known as Tranexamic Acid, TXA / transamin, complies with multiple pharmacopoeia standards including CP2010, USP42, BP2019, JP17, and EP9.0, with production and management strictly following GMP standards. It is a potent whitening ingredient that acts on the skin through a multi-dimensional approach: rapidly inhibiting tyrosinase and melanocyte activity while preventing melanin aggregation, effectively disrupting the pathway of increased melanin production caused by UV exposure, helping to prevent and improve pigmentation issues. With its excellent anti-inflammatory effects, it effectively soothes the skin, maintains skin function, and reduces factors that promote melanin production, widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, oral care products, and more.
