Natural and semi synthetic anti-tyrosinase agent from phaleria macrocarpa (scheff.) boerl using ultrasonicassisted extraction
Hyperpigmentation disorders cause several aesthetic issues such as melasma, lentigo and sunburn. Tyrosinase enzyme is described as the key limiting enzyme responsible in regulating melanin production. Hence, to prevent hyperpigmentation disorders, the key approach is to control tyrosinase activity....

Hyperpigmentation disorders cause several aesthetic issues such as melasma, lentigo and sunburn.
