  Skin Lightening Ingredients

The rate of decreasing unwanted skin pigmentation will vary from person to person.  Many factors include: how dark and how much hyperpigmentation is currently present, genetic makeup, medications, disease, hormones, UV exposure, diet, topical products that can be counter-active, skin irritation, and other environmental factors.  Melanogenesis is the formation of melanin (pigment in the skin) by melanocytes (skin cells that produce color).

An enzyme found in the body called tyrosinase is required for melanocytes to make melanin.  Your Undercarriage skin lightening products contain naturally occurring tyrosinase inhibitors that allow for great lightening results.

• Alpha Arbutin: is a naturally occurring antioxidant and skin brightener that is naturally found in the bearberry plant. An effective inhibitor to melanogenisis, it aides in the appearance of age spots, freckles, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
• Kojic acid:  lightens the skin tone by inhibiting the production of tyrosine, which is responsible for producing melanin. It also works as an antioxidant allowing for improved elasticity.

Both of these main ingredients, along with other notable additions, dramatically help with unattractive and embarrassing hyperpigmentation on your body and on your delicate private areas.  Our proprietary blend of melanine blocking agents leave the skin with a lighter, more natural and even skin tone. 

 

Skin Issues Treated

Our products treat a variety of skin issues pre and hair removal procedures. These include body acne, skin bumps and ingrown hairs to name just a few.  

• Folliculitis occurs when hair follicles get inflamed, infected, and appear as red dots like a rash that can be itchy and look like little white pimples or pustules. 

Typical areas where Folliculitis is common is on the neck, under arms, and groin area.  Many times, this can be caused by dirty hot tubs or swimming pools; friction from tight clothes (like tight jeans); substances that irritate or block follicles like makeup, oil, cocoa butter, etc; infected cuts where bacteria, yeast, fungi, or viruses spreads to nearby hair follicles; shaving; and warm weather. 

• Ingrown hairs curving back into the skin can also cause inflammation. An ingrown hair occurs when the hair curls back into the skin or grows sideways into and under the skin. 

The condition is most prevalent with coarse or curly hair and may or may not be accompanied by an infection of the hair follicle (Folliculitis) or "razor bumps" (Pseudofolliculitis barbae).  Ingrown hairs are common in areas where hair is shaved or removed but can appear anywhere on the body.  Broken off hair by an uneven razor or incorrect waxing technique followed by tight wearing clothing can also cause ingrown hairs.  It may look like a rash, reddened, with raised bumps, be itchy, or with hair that remains after a hair removal procedure. 

  Preventative Ingredients

Our variety of prophylactic product treatments include daily recommended, topical applications on affected areas containing actives such as Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid. 

• Lactic Acid: A mild Alpha Hydroxy Acid found in milk and tomato juice is very beneficial to the skin.  It improves skin texture by exfoliating and smoothing surface skin and improving cell turnover rate.  It diminishes blemishes, bumps, and breakouts by thoroughly deep cleaning pores.  It fades darkened areas and improves hyperpigmentation, evening out skin tone, brightening and lightening skin by directly inhibiting melanin formation.  It even rejuvenates by stimulating collagen production.  It enhances better product absorption of active ingredients by removing the particles that may block optimum absorption.  Since it’s a gentle acid it’s excellent for rough, dry or scaly skin.
• Glycolic Acid: a Alpha Hydroxy Acid that is derived from sugar cane and fruit acids, refreshes and refines the skin.  It acts as an exfoliant by removing the top layer of skin, and revealing new, healthier, smooth skin.  Since it’s highly acidic, it’s highly soluble and goes directly under the damaged areas of the skin.  It helps eliminate blackheads and reduces facial and body acne by deep cleaning the pores.  It’s excellent at preventing bumps and ingrown hairs.  It regenerates collagen, thickens the epidermis and dermis.  Hyperpigmentation, blemishes, acne marks, and even scars are diminished and faded away.  Skin becomes much brighter and clearer.
• Salicylic Acid: This Beta Hydroxy Acid is a highly beneficial ingredient. It is an aspirin chemical derivative, that has anti-inflammatory properties and eases pain.  It’s commonly used to treat Seborrhoeic Dermatitis, Acne, Psoriasis, Calluses, Corns, Keratosis Pilaris, Acathosis Nigricans, Ichthyosis, and Warts. Salicylic acid works as a Keratolytic, Comedolytic, and Bacteriostatic agent.  The cells of the epidermis shed more readily.  Pores are opened and unblocked and the bacteria within is neutralized.  Pore diameter is also constricted to prevent pores from clogging up again and allow room for new cell growth.  Salicylic Acid has the ability to penetrate deep into the pore. It’s excellent for controlling sebum excretion, improving acne, and treating ingrown hairs.
