UV rays induce oxidative stress in the skin, resulting in an increased production of the pigment melanin. While melanin acts as the skin’s primary defense against UV rays, it can sometimes cause uneven darkening, known as hyperpigmentation. Additional factors, such as aging or hormonal changes, can also lead to the development of darker and lighter skin patches. Plant flavonoids are known to influence melanin production in skin tissue, which can help even out the skin tone

MintyBright™ Nu is a natural skin-brightening ingredient derived from apple mint leaves, known for their high flavonoid content and richness in essential oils. Tests on melanin-producing cells, or melanocytes, have shown that MintyBright™ Nu significantly inhibits melanin synthesis. Supplementation over 84 days resulted in a skin-lightening effect twice as strong in Mediterranean female study volunteers compared to the placebo group. This effect was visibly confirmed by comparing before and after pictures of the participants. Additionally, a depigmenting effect was observed, leading to a more even skin tone.

MintyBright™ Nu is an innovative natural beauty-from-within bioactive designed for skin lightening, evening skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation. This ingredient is available as a powder, is water soluble and has a pleasant minty taste. This allows the development of a wide range of beauty-from-within supplements, such as capsules, powders, jelly sticks and liquids.
