MintyBright™ Nu
Skin brightening from inside
MintyBright™ Nu is an extract derived from dried apple mint leaves, a plant rich in flavonoids. This ingredient has been proven to reduce the synthesis of the skin pigment melanin, supporting a more even skin tone and increasing skin lightness. MintyBright™ Nu is a natural and clinically proven skin brightening ingredient with a pleasant flavor. Being a safe and natural alternative to many existing, rather harsh brightening treatments, it is the ideal ingredient for skin beauty supplements.
Research indicates that UV exposure causes oxidative stress, which triggers the stimulation of melanin production and result in hyperpigmentation. Certain plant flavonoids can protect from this kind of oxidative stress and mitigate excessive melanogenesis, promoting a more even skin tone. MintyBright™ Nu is rich in these flavonoids and has proven to reduce melanin synthesis. It supports the oxidative stress response resulting from UV exposure and can inhibit melanogenesis in skin cells.

Clinical Results
MintyBright™ Nu inhibits melanin synthesis, which led to a visible skin-lightening effect in Mediterranean female study participants. After 84 days of supplementation, skin lightness (L*) and brightness of skin color (ITA°) significantly improved compared to the initial condition. Additionally, the depigmenting effect resulted in a more even skin tone.
