Hydrogen Peroxide Skin Whitening Explanation

On the Causes of Hydrogen Peroxide Whitening
Everyone in the world often encounters the image of hydrogen peroxide touching the skin and whitening the skin, and they all want to investigate its root cause. Hydrogen peroxide is also a strong oxidant.

When hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with our skin, its oxidative properties come into play quickly. The surface of the skin contains many organic substances, such as keratin, oils and other biomolecules. The strong oxidative properties of hydrogen peroxide can oxidize and decompose such organic substances.

In the skin, melanin is a key factor in determining skin tone. Melanin is produced by melanocytes, and its amount and distribution affect the depth of skin tone. When hydrogen peroxide acts on the skin, it may affect the synthesis, transportation and metabolism of melanin. Melanin contains ingredients with a specific chemical structure. The oxidation of hydrogen peroxide can change the chemical structure of melanin, make it lighter in color, or even decompose, resulting in a decrease in the amount of melanin on the surface of the skin, resulting in white skin.

Furthermore, after contact with the skin, hydrogen peroxide may stimulate the skin's immune system. The immune system is stimulated, or a series of physiological reactions are triggered, including the regulation of melanocytes. Or the ability of melanocytes to produce melanin is reduced, or the metabolism of melanin is accelerated, which is also one of the reasons for skin whitening.

Because of the stratum corneum of the skin, it is the outermost protective barrier of the skin. The oxidation of hydrogen peroxide may change some components of the stratum corneum, and the structure and optical properties of the stratum corneum will be changed accordingly. The reflection and refraction of light in the stratum corneum are different, which will also make the skin appear white visual effect.

In summary, hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing, causing the skin to turn white where it comes into contact by acting on melanin in the skin, stimulating the immune system, and changing the properties of the stratum corneum.
