[Table] Measurement result of inhibition of melanin production of anthranilic acid
Anthranilic acid, a newly discovered raw material by E2BIO, is excellent in inhibiting meanin production and in hibiting tyrosinase expression, thus preventing and improving skin whitening or pigmentation, and can be used for treatment.

3 times whitening effect

Compared to arbutin

37% inhibitory activity at 25ppm and 45% inhibitory activity at 10ppm were confirmed, demonstrating three times better inhibitory effect that arbutin, a chemical raw material.

What is anthranilic acid?

Anthranilic acid is a new raw material for natural materials derived from marine sediment soil newly discovered by E2BIO, and is a natural whitening functional ingredient extracted with only E2BIO's patented technology.

E2BIO's VISION

E2BIO's vision is to be recognized by people who have been tamed at the standards and eye level of imported cosmetics.

E2BIO Co., Ltd. which has been certified as one of the few research institutes in Korea, aims to replace cosmetics with high side effects due to existing chemical ingredients by developing high-function, low-side effect natural material whitening functional cosmetics through affiliated research centers. In addition, a research team consisting of Professor Lim Kyoung-min of  Ewha Womans University, Professor Nam Sang-jip, and Kwon Young-il, the Research Director, participates as a technical advisor in the development of cosmetics, and holds patented technology for natural substances derived from marine sediment.
