Herd de Orient – Whitening

For Asians, one of the key objectives of cosmetics is to achieve fairer skin since soft white skin is considered beautiful.

Skin tone depends on genetics, age and occupation. The skin's melanin content, blood and degree of translucence matter too. The amount of melanin in the skin is different across different races. Caucasians have the least amount of melanin. Occupation is also a determining factor as different jobs expose people to different amounts of sunlight. The uneven amount of melanin gives rise to pigmentation and freckles.

Melasma is a common facial skin pigmentation problem. They appear as brown patches and can occur in both men and women, but more frequently in women, especially during pregnancy.

While conducting research for the Whitening range, herbs that have proven to be beneficial to help lighten skin tones have all been selected and used. These include angelica root, Angelica, shame flowers, Millettia, mulberry, Morus alba, and so on. In addition, products also contain sunscreen properties. Herb De Orient’s Whitening range include shower gel, shower lotion, whitening moisturizer, facial cleanser, toner, whitening essence and mask.
