Purac
Functional, natural and sustainable solutions

There is a strong global demand for skin care products that inhibit and/or prevent pigmentation of the skin. New products continue to be developed that:

Promote overall lightening

Even patchy skin tone

Work as a spot treatment for localized hyperpigmentation

The desire for skin lightening is not only a cosmetic issue. Consumers with severe hyperpigmentation often undergo psychosocial stress, causing health concerns in affected patients. With stricter regulatory guidelines on the use of traditional lightening agents such as hydroquinone, several new skin lightening agents have been introduced to fill in the gap. Many of these new ingredients are actually hydroquinone precursors and are documented to be just as highly irritating.



PURASAL® S/HQ 60
Safe, effective skin lightening ingredient PURASAL S/HQ 60 is a clinically proven ingredient that performs as a single active product or synergistically component with other skin lightening agents. A natural sodium salt of L(+) lactic acid, PURASAL S/HQ 60 inhibits tyrosinase activity, which is the key step in the skin darkening process. Simple to formulate and cost-effective, PURASAL S/HQ 60 is a versatile standard component for use in day or night creams, spot treatment serums and body lotions.
PURASAL S/HQ 60 uncomplicates the skin lightening process, providing dramatic visible results, naturally.
