Everything You Need To Know
Skinbright Active is a mix that we’ve blended at Aromantic with Organic Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil, which helps to give it an extra natural silicon feeling.
- Induces a significant lightening effect on the skin, at the same time that fights against photoaging.
- Acts by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
- Exhibits a considerable lightening in-vivo effect on the skin.
- Has a completely safe profile.
- Shows good stability in formulations.
- Possesses a photoprotective effect on the human epidermal keratinocytes, helping to prevent skin damage caused by UV radiation.
- Unlike other skin brighteners/lighteners that can cause irritation and sensitivity due to the sun, Skinbright Active actually helps to prevent skin damage caused by UV radiation – 190% increase in cell viability.
- Exhibits a better depigmenting effect than Kojic Acid and Arbutin, and similar to Hydroquinone.
- Does not affect melanocyte growth, while Hydroquinone cytotoxicity was clearly observed.
- A cream containing 5% Skinbright Active induces a significant brightening effect after 30 and 60 days.
- Skinbright active reduced the appearance of melasma (dark skin discolourations that appears on sun-exposed areas of the face) by 72% and lentigines (sun spots, age spots or liver spots) by 67% after 60 days of treatment.
- Kojic Acid was very efficient but was found that it could cause skin damage so was recently banned in many countries. Skinbright Active has shown better efficiency than Kojic Acid and is very safe to use.

More information about Skinbright Active
The colour of our skin is determined mainly by the amount, distribution and type of melanin, a pigment produced by melanocyte cells in a process called melanogenesis. Melanin synthesis takes place in melanosomes, which contain specific enzymes controlling the production of pigments. The first step of melanogenesis is mediated by tyrosinase, a key enzyme that catalyses the first two reactions of melanin synthesis. Abnormal accumulation of melanin is responsible for hyperpigmentations, which can be distressing for some people.
Changes in skin pigmentation
Typical pigmentary changes apppear during intrinsic aging and photoaging. These may be a result of the abnormal accumulation of melanin or acute or persistent UV exposure.
This, in turn, leads to: Hyperpigmentation: melasma, freckles, age spots and senile lentigines (or more commonly known as age spots, or liver spots, which are benign, localised brownish patch on the skin, often occuring in old age and usually in fair-skinned people with sun-damaged skin.
In vivo tests - Brightening effect
20 healthy female volunteers aged 18 to 46, with a range of skin types were selected for this study. The volunteers applied a cream containing 0.1% Skinbright Active on one side of the face, twice daily, for 2 months, and a placebo cream on the other side.
The brightening effect was instrumentally evaluated by means of a Chromameter CR-300. Mean values from 5 successive measurements were calculated. These 6 measurements were rigorously made at the same location at each time.
Measurements were taken before application, after 30 days and after 60 days of treatment.
After 30 days of treatment, there was significant increase in skin luminance for the skin that was treated with Skinbright Active Cream. The placebo cream presented no significant effects.
After 60 days of treatment, the brightening effect induced by the cream containing Skinbright Active increased in respect to the results at 30 days and it was significantly superior to the effect observed for the placebo cream. In short, the results of the in vivo test prove that Skinbright Active is able to induce a skin brightening effect after 30 and 60 days of treatment.
At the end of the study, no adverse effects were reported by the volunteers.
Skinbright Active showed no cytotoxic effects on melanocytes, keratinocytes or fibroblasts, neither mutagenicity nor any irritation or sensitisation reaction. Its efficacy was tested in cell-free enzymatic assays as well as in cell-based assays. It proved to inhibit both mushroom and endogenous human tyrosinase in vitro, and exhibited a significant depigmenting effect on human melanocytes. The product also proved to have a significant photo-protective effect on human epidermal keratinocyte cell cultures, and can therefore prevent the skin-damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.
In conclusion, Skinbright Active can be classified as a safe skin brightening agent due to its impeccable safety profile and contrasted in vitro and in vivo efficacy.

Reviews
Finally working at higher percentage of 20%
"I had left some negative review on this Active previously as couldn’t see much change to hyperpigmentation after using for sometime at 5% perhaps because the hyperpigmentation was severe. Increased it to 20% in my cream which does make this a an expensive Active but I am seeing a difference. It will take time I guess to see complete fading but very happy with results so far at 20-25% and I am happy that I can order this Active thru Aromatic."
Finally seeing results!
"I scar easily and suffer from hyperpigmentation which last years. A small mosquito bite or an accidental burn when taking food out of the oven ends up, leaving ugly, brown scars, all over my arms! Initially, I was disappointed with this ingredient as I was not seeing much of a difference. But I have been using consistently and increased the percentage and finally starting to see results. I would say it does take time to fade scars but if you are looking to brightens skin tone or lacklustre skin, you can see a difference quicker !"
Great Products. Great Service
"Very happy with this active. Used it in my oil serum and it works great."
Have been using for sometime
"I have been trying to treat hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage for years now with Skin Bright & keep trying this product but it hasn’t faded. The study Aromantic writes about in the descriptions with fantastic results was not done using Skin Bright but using the Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate. Skin Bright contains this ingredient but Aromantics have heavily diluted it in sunflower. Please can Aromantic sell this Active without diluting it so customers can buy the Active as it’s sold by the manufacturer and we can use it in 0. 1% as per the manufactures recommendation! We will need to use less percentage of it & it will be the actual product the manufacturer tests were done on . At the moment skin bright being heavily diluted we are expected to use a lot more than 0. 1% & from my personal experience not seeing good enough results for it!"
Tried this now consistently for 2years
"I wrote a review just now but not sure if I posted it as can’t see so re-writing. I have been consistently using this product to treat sun damage hyperpigmentation for 2 years but it hasn’t faded enough. The study described with fantastic results in the description was not not done with Skin Bright but with Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate which Aromantics have heavily diluted in Skin Bright! I don’t understand why? Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate Is very easy to use for customers. If Aromantics could sell Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate without diluting it,customers could add 0. 1-0. 5% as per manufacturer recommendations & we may see good results. As of now Skin Bright being heavily diluted by Aromantics, we are having to use a lot more to get the Active,buy more often & I am not seeing results good enough after 2 years! Please sell the Active Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate without dilution. It is very easy to use"
Have tried it for some time
"Not sure if it’s working . The active diethylmethoxy chromonyl palmitate does help fade Hyperpigmentation & brightens skin but Aromantic sells this ingredient heavily diluted in sunflower oil! Much prefer if they would sell this ingredient without the sunflower oil added to dilute it. Then it would be a really effective ingredient."
Not sure
"I am a Chemist & I have bought this ingredient many times before to add to my hyperpigmentation face cream formulation but not sure it is doing much. The ingredient diethylmethoxy chromanyl Palmitate does bright skin & fade Hyperpigmentation however Aromantic sells this ingredient here heavily diluted in sunflower oil so it does not do much or takes much longer to see any change. I would much appreciate if Aromantic would sell this ingredient without diluting it with sunflower oil as other cosmetic ingredient suppliers do. That way when I add 1-3% in my formula, I am actually getting 1-3% in the cream not the diluted version."
"Brilliant results every time. I regularly formulate a skin brightening serum with this. My husband and I use it regularly. It helps boost our natural glow, and our facial skin looks clear, smooth, and bright. It's a staple in our home."
I think it works
"I have been formulating with this ingredient, i find it a little slow but I think its working. Face has a glow."
Q&A
- Is this a natural or synthetic product? Thanks
- Thank you for your enquiry. The active ingredient Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate is synthetic.
- I am not seeing much change to pigmentation when using this in a blend of oils. Can skinbright be used directly on the skin ? I’m assuming yes because it’s already Blended with sunflower oil ?
- Good afternoon, No, Skinbright Active cannot be used directly on the skin. Please only use incorporated into a formulation at the recommended usage rates outlined on the product page. The product is designed to work gradually so I hope you start to see improvements with further use.
- Could you sell the pure Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate powder on your website for those who wish to formulate with pure Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate as this version is diluted in sunflower oil? Kindly advise. As long as the price isn’t astronomical, I will certainly purchase for my formulations.
- Sorry, this is not an ingredient that we sell separately.
- Can this be used in an eye cream for under eye dark circles if so at what percentage? Thank you
- Yes, the skinbright active can be used in eye creams for under eye dark circles and I would recommend no more than 5% of this product as the skin around the eye is so sensitive. However, I would also check with your safety assessor, and as always, carry out a patch test.
- Hello, could you send me the MSDS document for the following products - I bought them from yourselves. Co enzyme Q10 plus E Skin bright active Skin Lightner Thank you.
