What is SEPI WHITE MSH?

Sepiwhite MSH also known as undecylenoyl phenylalanine, is an excellent skin evener and suitable for all skin types and ethnicities that promotes a more uniform and radiant complexion with results in as little as seven days. Studies have demonstrated an increase in skin luminosity and a decrease in the number and color of hyperpigmented spots, and it can be combined with other active ingredients, such as niacinamide or AHAs. Sepiwhite MSH is a lipoamino acid, or vectorized essential amino acid, developed from phenylalanine, an amino acid involved in melanin synthesis. MSH is an alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) receptor agonist developed from this amino acid that inhibits the process of melanin synthesis from the hypothalamus to produce a reduction in melanin pigmentation in skin cells.

This particular ingredient is recognised by dermatologists as one of the safest and most effective alternatives to HQ. A variety of in vivo tests have proven its effect in controlling hyperpigmentation in people of all skin tones. It is an oil-soluble compound.
