Overview
What is Tranexamic Acid?Tranexamic Acid, INCI name Tranexamic Acid, also known as aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid, is a white crystalline powder derived from lysine. It features excellent water‑solubility and non‑photosensitive property, and is a widely‑used brightening & repairing raw material included in the cosmetic ingredient inventory. Unlike conventional brightening ingredients that directly inhibit tyrosinase, tranexamic acid mainly suppresses plasmin activity to block melanin‑generating signals triggered by inflammation. It acts on inflammation‑related melanin pathways, helping formulations achieve even‑toned skin design goals and offering soothing redness‑relieving potential for finished formulas. With low inherent irritation, it can be applied in formulation systems developed for sensitive‑skin concerns.
