What SANCTUS Says
Product Description:
SANCTUS Blemish Removal Cream is a smart combination of various ingredients that help control melanin deposits. Melanin deposited in an uneven manner causes skin to look blemished and have dark patches. Removing these dark patches is a dedicated job and needs a competent cream to do it. The dark patches are primarily caused due to the dirt accumulation in the open pores and thus over a period of time, make them be clogged and look black. The removal of blemishes is a role of both - a good oil control face wash and a blemish removal cream. The face wash helps in removing the dirt from the open pores and the cream helps in keeping those pores closed for a longer time. The lesser the pores remain open, the lesser dirt they will accumulate. With high-end ingredients such as kojic dipalmitate, alpha-arbutin, glycerine and shea butter to name a few, the cream has all it takes to remove blemishes and dark spots on the skin. Benefits: Advanced scar lightening formula, Regulates melanin deposits, Removes dark patches from the skin, Complete and quick absorption into the skin - leaves no stickiness, Free from harmful chemicals such as parabens and SLS.

Key Ingredients
Kojic Dipalmitate, Alpha-Arbutin, Glycerine, Shea Butter
Ingredients Details
Alpha-arbutin
Common Name(s): 4-hydroxyphenyl-alpha-d-glucopyranoside
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides potent tyrosinase inhibition with improved stability and tolerability over other arbutin forms.
Why It's Used: Premium arbutin โ alpha configuration provides 10ร greater tyrosinase inhibition than beta-arbutin at equivalent concentration, making alpha-arbutin the most effective arbutin form.
How It Works: Alpha-glucoside linkage provides enhanced metabolic stability vs beta-arbutin (less enzymatic hydrolysis to free hydroquinone in skin). inhibits tyrosinase via competitive substrate inhibition (ic50 ~24ฮผg/ml vs beta-arbutin ~525ฮผg/ml โ 20ร more potent). inhibits dopa oxidase step in melanogenesis.
Typically Found In: Brightening serums,anti-spot products,premium lightening

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. use with spf for maximum efficacy. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,vitamin c,alpha-arbutin,tranexamic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Alpha-arbutin's 10โ20ร greater potency vs beta-arbutin at equivalent concentration arises from the alpha-glycosidic bond geometry โ the alpha configuration positions the hydroquinone aglycone at a specific orientation relative to the glucose that fits the tyrosinase active site copper more precisely than the beta isomer's different spatial arrangement.

Glycerine
Common Name(s): Glycerin,universal humectant,water-binding skin conditioning
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Attracts and retains moisture in the sc, improves skin barrier function at low concentrations, provides gentle keratolytic softening, and acts as a co-solvent for water-soluble actives.
Why It's Used: The reference humectant โ lowest cost, best safety profile, universal formulation compatibility, and present naturally in the sc via lipase-mediated glycerolipid hydrolysis makes glycerin the industry standard against which all humectants are benchmarked.
How It Works: Three hydroxyl groups form 6 h-bonds with water molecules per glycerol unit โ the highest oh-group density per carbon of any commercial humectant. glycerin also down-regulates epidermal serine proteases that overactivate in dry sc, improving desquamation and barrier integrity.
Typically Found In: All cosmetics,universal

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Epidermal lipases hydrolyse sc glycerophospholipids during cornification, releasing glycerol that contributes to the natural nmf โ topical glycerin directly supplements this endogenous sc humectant pool.
