Undecylenoyl phenylalanine, also known as amide, is a melanotropic hormone (α-MSH) receptor antagonist that acts on the biochemical reactions at various stages of melanin formation triggered by α-MSH, intercepting melanin Generate signals to control the combination of α-MSH (melanocyte stimulating hormone) and melanin production factors, effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, thereby inhibiting the formation of melanin.
1.Undecylenoylphenylalanine can effectively inhibit the formation of melanin caused by α-MSH. It can also act on multiple stages of melanin formation, used to whiten or reduce the deposition of melanin in the epidermis, and improve skin problems such as dark yellow and rough skin. , evens skin tone, prevents, delays and treats hyperpigmentation in the skin.
2.Undecylenoylphenylalanine can combine with nicotinamide. Niacinamide can prevent melanin synthesis from the source, while nicotinamide interferes with the melanin synthesis pathway and cooperates with each other to achieve whitening and lightening effects. It can be used to prepare lotions, creams, transparent liquids or gels that are stable and do not change color.
Undecylenoylphenylalanine is mainly used in the field of cosmetics and personal care products with excellent whitening ability.
