Cosmetic Science Technology 2008
An extract of garden cress sprouts that was incorporated into a liposomal skin carrier system, was found to exhibit a strong whitening effect. This new whitening ingredient, SulforaWhite, is characterised by a standardised content of sulforaphane, the well-known phytonutrient of Brassicaceae vegetables. In vitro, the whitening efficacy was demonstrated on B16 melanocytes after stimulation with alpha-MSH. The result could be clearly reproduced in vivo with a cream containing 2% SulforaWhite, tested on 21 Asian subjects for 56 days.
