DropBrigt® Litein – The Next-Generation Brightening & Anti-Aging Active
Nov 21, 2025
Unlock Cellular Beauty with DropBrigt® LiteinIn the quest for radiant, youthful skin, the key lies not just in surface-level treatments, but in empowering the skin’s own defense and renewal mechanisms. Introducing DropBrigt® Litein (INCI: Oxothiazolidinecarboxylic Acid, CAS 19771-63-2) — a groundbreaking active that works at the cellular level to promote brighter, smoother, and more resilient skin.
🌟 How Does DropBrigt® Litein Work?
DropBrigt® Litein is a precursor to glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. Unlike topical glutathione, which has limited absorption, Litein effectively penetrates skin cells and stimulates the natural synthesis of glutathione, enhancing the skin’s intrinsic ability to:
Inhibit Tyrosinase Activity – Reducing melanin production and shifting synthesis from dark eumelanin to lighter phaeomelanin.
Neutralize Free Radicals – Protecting proteins, lipids, and DNA from oxidative damage.
Repair UV-Induced Damage – Lowering ROS and lipid peroxidation for stronger anti-photoaging benefits.
📊 Clinically Proven Efficacy
1. Powerful Antioxidant & Anti-Melanogenic Action
↓ ROS by 28.8% at 0.1% concentration after UVB exposure (p < 0.001)
↓ MDA (lipid peroxidation) by 54.84% at 0.1% (p < 0.001)
Boosts intracellular glutathione, shifting melanin type and brightening skin tone
2. Strengthens Skin Under Stress
In muscle fatigue studies, cells treated with Litein showed better stress resilience, maintaining performance under prolonged exertion — a promising model for skin under environmental or emotional stress.
