Abstract

South Asian's growing obsession with fair skin has made the cosmetic industry into a multibillion-dollar trade over the last decade alone. With reports of toxicity and potential mutagenicity of conventional skin lightening agents, cosmetic industries are looking for plant-based skin whitening formulations. In this review some potential depigmentation agents from South Asian region are discussed, including their historical background, biochemical characteristics and recent findings on their depigmenting activity.

남아시아 지역은 문화적, 사회적으로 흰 피부에 대한 관심이 높으며 이로 인해 미백화장품에 대한 요구가 크다. 합성물에 대한 우려 및 거부감으로 천연물중심의 원료가 급증하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인도를 포함하는 남아시아 지역의 미백소재에 관한 문화, 사회적 배경과 최근 연구 개발 현황을 조사하였다.
