Based on a botanical, Wonderlight™ acts on both melanocytes and their associated keratinocytes to help lessen pigmentation disorders. It regulates the Epidermal Melanin Unit cross-talking and blocks the signaling pathways involved in melanin synthesis.
Wonderlight™ exhibits a stronger effect on hyper-pigmented areas and equalizes skin pigmentation in order to make them less visible. The ability of Wonderlight™ to inhibit the UV-inducted secretion of GM-CSF (important melanocyte stimulator) was demonstrated in vitro.
The concept was validated on living human skin cultures (phototype III) in which the UVAB induced a 2-fold increase in the number of melanocytes that was totally inhibited in the presence of Wonderlight™.
