Hyaluronic Acid Na for Whitening that Maximizes the Function of Alpha-Linolenic Acid

HyWhite is a product in which low molecular weight sodium hyaluronate, highly permeable to the skin, is partially replaced with alpha-linolenic acid, resulting in a high whitening effect. Alpha-linolenic acid is widely known for its strong melanin production suppression effect, and in in vitro results, it has been confirmed to have a higher suppression effect than kojic acid. On the other hand, it has also been known as a component that is difficult to formulate due to its low skin permeability and instability. This product promotes the absorption of linolenic acid, which has been a conventional issue, by replacing a portion of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid with alpha-linolenic acid, thereby improving stability and maximizing the effects of alpha-linolenic acid. In Vitro: Melanin production: approximately 50% suppression Tyrosinase activity: approximately 40% suppression Proteasome activity: LLVY approximately 140%, LRR approximately 170%, LLE approximately 180% improvement In Vivo: Asia L value: +6.6% ITA value: +40.1% Melanin: -21.3% Number of spots: -5.6% Skin tone uniformity: 6.4% improvement Caucasus ITA: +10.6% Number of spots: -24% Number of pigmented cells: -18.6%

Green Tech Co., Ltd. is a company established in 1992. The company has been importing and selling various types of plant extracts in Japan for about 20 years, and we have heard that the impression of Green Tech among Japanese customers is that it is a manufacturer with a wide range of plant extracts. In fact, the company handles over 5,000 types of plant extracts. In addition to traditional plant extracts, it also produces and sells products that focus on the biodiversity of South America, particularly Brazil and the Amazon, including plant extracts and oils, as well as products developed based on microbial research that demonstrate effectiveness in maintaining microbial homeostasis. The company also manufactures products derived from algae and microalgae, including components and extracted extracts. In recent years, it has been focusing on research and development, not only enhancing the evaluation data of products in In-Vivo and In-Vitro studies but also conducting research and development in response to new trends such as skin microbiomes. Additionally, it is committed to the development and manufacturing of products that have demonstrated effectiveness by increasing the concentration of active ingredients using its proprietary freeze technology (preservation, grinding, extraction) and fermentation technology. These manufacturing technologies are not only used for the development of the company's own products but also support the development of customized products.
