HyperPigmentation- Risks of Whitening Creams ingredients. Natural Lightening Products

Every color is beautiful.

Every one knows someone who's used a Whitening product at some point of time.
Although this is a controversial topic, closely intertwined with effects on identity, self-image, race, and worse, there is a purely cosmetic appeal to it.

Uneven pigmentation affects most people, regardless of ethnic background or skin color. Skin is either  lighter or darker than normal- blotchy, uneven areas, patches of brown to gray discoloration or freckling. Hyperpigmentation occurs because of too much or too little melanin, which creates the color of skin, eyes, and hair shades.

At Holistic Serums, we make a Hyper pigmentation serum using only aromatherapy and ayurved ingredients. None of the chemicals listed below are used.

What are the risks and dangers of Whitening creams?The problem with Whitening Creams, are because of the ingredients that are used in them. Due to popular demand, ingredients that deliver quickly, are cheaper to buy as raw material are gaining popularity.
If you read the ingredients, most of the ones used are these:

Mercury, toxic, banned in most countries (Europe 1976)(USA 1990) because it accumulates on skin and it can have the opposite results long term, that is darkening of skin

Hydroquinone shown to cause leukemia in mice and other animals. Although banned in 2001 by EU, it shows up in bootleg creams in the developing world. OTC drugs in the US contain less than 2% hydroquinone. Most Beauty Salons in India use this, mainly sold in jars with no ingredient list.

Alternative lighteners use natural sources of hydroquinone like Bearberry extract, Mulberry extract which contain arbutin, which can inhibit melanin production, reducing the protective cover of the skin.


Vitamin A, or Retin-A which causes skin-thinning & increased sun-sensitivity with relevant dangers.

Kojic acid, a byproduct of rice fermentation, has current controversial research as being carcinogenic.

Vitamin C has studies that say it helps brighten the skin tone, however this is in concentrations over 5%, which is unlikely to be available in cosmetics.
