additional info

Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is often used in combination with other antioxidants, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, to enhance its effectiveness. It is important to note that tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is unstable in light and air, so it is essential to store products containing this ingredient in a cool, dark place. Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is also known as Tetrahydrocurcuminoids or Curcumin. SabiWhite® Tetrahydrocurcumin 96% is a color-free standardized powdered extract from the roots of the Curcuma longa (Turmeric) plant with skin whitening, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as providing UVB protection. It scavenges and prevents the formation of free radicals. It also inhibits tyrosinase, which inhibits the skin from producing melanin. This product is color-free, unlike the brilliant yellow color of other turmeric extracts and can be used in anti-aging, skin lightening, sun care and after sun care formulations.
