Chromabright™

An advanced brightening molecule that helps visibly fade discoloration and support a more even complexion — without the sensitivities of traditional fade ingredients.

What it does

Inhibits tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for pigment production) to help visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone. Also has photoprotective properties.

Glow notes

Chromabright® (Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate, or DCP) is a Vitamin E-derived brightening molecule. It works as a tyrosinase inhibitor — interfering with the enzyme responsible for melanin production — to help visibly reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven tone. Unlike hydroquinone and kojic acid, which are UV-sensitizing, Chromabright® has photoprotective properties and is considered non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating in safety studies. Clinical data shows it reduced the appearance of melasma by up to 72% after 60 days.
