What is Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane used for?
Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is a derivative of turmeric used as a skin-whitening ingredient, and sometimes seen as an antioxidant, in cosmetics and personal care products, especially in anti-aging formulas. According to Nu-Skin, a company that uses Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane in its whitening products, this ingredient “blocks the synthesis of skin discoloration by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme that catalyzes the production of melanin.” This may allow Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane to assist in fading age spots.
