Authors: Julia Baumann*, Marta De Oliveira Ferreira, Marta Monteiro, Ines Mota, Patrizia Alves And Torsten Grothe

Published: February 19, 2025

Abstract: Exposure To Environmental Stressors, Such As UV Radiation, Pollution, And Thermal Stress, Can Lead To Skin Hyper Pigmentation, Resulting In Uneven Skin Tone And Dark Spots. Nutraceutical Skin Lightening Treatments Have Become A Topic Of Increasing Interest As Individuals Aim To Reduce Skin Hyper Pigmentation, Particularly The Use Of Botanical Extracts. The Current Study Investigated The Potential Of Apple Mint Extract As A Natural Skinbrightening Solution. In Vitro Experiments Demonstrated That The Extract Stimulates Genes Involved In Cellular Stress Response, Including Superoxide Dismutase 3, And Inhibits Melanin Synthesis In Human Melanocytes. A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial Involving 110 Healthy Female Subjects Showed That Oral Supplementation With Apple Mint Powder Significantly Increased Skin Lightness, Improved Skin Tone Evenness, And Reduced Melanin Variation After 84 Days. These Findings Suggest That Apple Mint Extract May Be An Effective And Safe Natural Ingredient For Skin Brightening And Depigmentation, Offering A Promising Alternative To Synthetic Skin-lightening Agents.
