(Tetrahydroxymethoxy chalcone) is a natural product, also known as THMC. It is a yellow crystalline solid with a bitter taste.
THMC is a polyphenol compound with high antioxidant activity. It protects cells from free radical damage and thus against oxidative stress and aging. THMC also has a whitening effect, can reduce the production of melanin, and inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, thereby reducing pigmentation.
THMC is commonly used in cosmetics as an anti-aging and whitening ingredient. It can be added to skin care products, masks, lotions and other products to improve the moisturization and brightness of the skin.
The preparation of THMC is mainly extracted from natural plants. Common raw materials include licorice root, gardenia, etc., and purified THMC is obtained by solvent extraction and purification process.
Regarding the safety of THMC, no obvious toxicity or irritation has been found. However, as a chemical, long-term heavy use may produce certain side effects or allergic reactions. Therefore, when using THMC, it is recommended to perform a skin sensitivity test first and use it in accordance with the product instructions. At the same time, for people with special skin problems or allergies, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor or cosmetics expert.
