Ai-Luros™
Ai-Luros™ is a multifunctional ingredient that is composed of a botanical extract derived from the leaves and stems of Polygonum tinctorium (Japanese indigo, called "Ai" in Japanese) . Backed by laboratory studies, Ai-Luros™ has been shown to exhibit brightening effects through the inhibition of melanogenesis, as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity making it an ideal active ingredient for a wide range of skincare and oral care formulations.
Sustainably cultivated without the use of pesticides, the indigo plants are grown in a GIAHS*-designated region of Tokushima Prefecture, Japan, recognized globally for preserving traditional agricultural practices in harmony with the environment.
