What is Tranexamic Acid Powder ?   

Tranexamic acid is a synthetic lysine derivative initially used clinically as a hemostatic agent. Cosmetic-grade tranexamic acid undergoes high purification to ensure its safety and stability meet skincare product standards. Its molecular structure effectively and competitively inhibits plasminogen activator, a property that makes it highly effective in skin whitening and fading dark spots. It has become a highly regarded whitening ingredient in the Asian market, especially suitable for sensitive skin and those with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Feature

Tranexamic acid precisely inhibits melanin activation by directly blocking the binding of plasminogen to keratinocytes, thereby reducing the release of inflammatory factors such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which are key signals for activating melanocytes. It is particularly effective at inhibiting the increased activity of tyrosinase caused by UV stimulation and inflammatory responses, controlling abnormal melanin proliferation at its source. This mechanism of action targeting inflammatory pathways makes it exceptionally effective in treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

It repairs the skin barrier function by inhibiting the overactive fibrinolytic system, effectively reducing vasodilation and skin inflammation, which is crucial for repairing a damaged skin barrier. It helps reduce transepidermal water loss, enhances the integrity of the stratum corneum, and reduces the damage of external irritants to the skin. This barrier-repairing effect is particularly suitable for use in combination with irritating ingredients such as retinol to alleviate their discomfort.

It synergistically enhances whitening effects because its whitening mechanism is completely different from traditional whitening ingredients such as vitamin C and arbutin, thus producing a synergistic effect. It can improve the function of capillaries in the dermis and reduce hemoglobin deposition caused by vascular leakage, thereby improving dull skin tone. Compared with hydroquinone, its effects are milder, it does not produce cytotoxicity, and it is suitable for long-term use.

Applications

Targeted Treatment for Melasma: Tranexamic acid is widely used to treat melasma, especially effective for types involving vascular factors. It is often used in combination with other methods, including oral administration, topical application, and even injections. In cosmetics, it is incorporated into serums and creams specifically targeting post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation such as acne scars and post-traumatic pigmentation. Clinical studies have shown that consistent use of skincare products containing tranexamic acid can significantly lighten existing pigmentation and prevent the formation of new spots.

Comprehensive Whitening and Skin Tone Improvement: As a key ingredient in overall facial whitening products, tranexamic acid effectively improves uneven skin tone and dullness, making it particularly suitable for preventing darkening of the skin after summer sun exposure. It is often combined with vitamin C derivatives and niacinamide to create multi-layered whitening pathways for a more comprehensive brightening effect. For dullness caused by micro-inflammation, it can restore healthy radiance to the skin by improving capillary function.

For sensitive skin, tranexamic acid's anti-inflammatory properties make it a top choice for whitening, especially for those with sensitive skin and rosacea. It effectively fades pigmentation without exacerbating skin sensitivity. It's incorporated into anti-redness and soothing repair products, reducing facial flushing and telangiectasia by strengthening blood vessel walls. In post-laser treatment care, it's used to prevent and treat post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, accelerating skin recovery.

For anti-aging and barrier repair, modern anti-aging products combine tranexamic acid with retinol, peptides, and other ingredients to enhance barrier repair while providing whitening effects. It's specifically used to address pigmentation issues caused by hormonal changes in menopausal women, achieving a more youthful complexion through multi-pathway regulation. In high-end skincare lines, it also functions as an "anti-pollution" ingredient, helping to mitigate the negative effects of environmental stress on skin pigmentation and barrier function.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
