Glutathione

Product Description

Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Widely used in cosmetics and skincare, it functions as a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and supports skin brightening by inhibiting melanin synthesis. Its strong free radical scavenging properties help prevent premature aging, improve skin tone, and enhance radiance. In cosmetic formulations, Glutathione is valued for its dual action—both as a skin-lightening agent and a detoxifier—making it a popular choice in anti-aging, brightening, and whitening products. It’s suitable for serums, creams, masks, and oral beauty supplements.
