{"product_id":"beauty-example-product-2","title":"Tranexamic Acid Powder","description":"\u003cp\u003eTranexamic Acid (TXA) is a synthetic lysine derivative originally developed as an antifibrinolytic agent in clinical medicine. In cosmetic formulation, it has emerged as one of the most versatile and well-tolerated brightening actives available — particularly valued for its multi-pathway approach to pigmentation control. Unlike single-mechanism inhibitors, TXA disrupts melanin synthesis through several complementary mechanisms: it blocks the interaction between keratinocytes and melanocytes by inhibiting plasminogen activator, reduces prostaglandin-mediated UV-induced pigmentation, and downregulates the expression of key melanogenic enzymes including tyrosinase. The result is a brightening active that addresses both existing discolouration and the inflammatory triggers that cause it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Does in a Formula\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-pathway pigmentation control\u003c\/strong\u003e — simultaneously targets plasminogen\/plasmin signalling, prostaglandin pathways, and tyrosinase expression for broader efficacy than single-mechanism actives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffective against melasma\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of the few topical actives with robust clinical evidence for melasma reduction, including head-to-head studies against hydroquinone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)\u003c\/strong\u003e — particularly effective for PIH triggered by acne, eczema, or UV exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-inflammatory properties\u003c\/strong\u003e — helps calm the inflammatory cascade that drives reactive pigmentation, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent tolerability\u003c\/strong\u003e — does not cause the irritation, rebound hyperpigmentation, or regulatory concerns associated with hydroquinone; safe for long-term use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSynergistic pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e — works well alongside Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin, Azelaic Acid, and Vitamin C for enhanced brightening protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormulation Guidelines\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2% – 5% (most clinical studies use 2–3%; up to 5% is used in leave-on treatments)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water phase — dissolve in the aqueous phase before emulsification; highly water soluble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stable across a broad pH range (3.0 – 7.0); most effective in slightly acidic to neutral formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with most cosmetic actives and preservative systems; no known significant incompatibilities at standard use levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormulator note:\u003c\/strong\u003e TXA is heat stable and can be added to the water phase at elevated temperatures without significant degradation, simplifying manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serums, toners, moisturizers, eye creams, and targeted spot treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tranexamic Acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1197-18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e White crystalline powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥99%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freely soluble in water; slightly soluble in ethanol; practically insoluble in oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH (1% aqueous solution):\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.0 – 8.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture; keep container tightly sealed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years from date of manufacture when stored properly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"20g","offer_id":42902242394189,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":42902242426957,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":42902242459725,"sku":null,"price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g","offer_id":42902242492493,"sku":null,"price":135.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":42902242525261,"sku":null,"price":259.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g","offer_id":42902242558029,"sku":null,"price":478.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/8266\/6317\/files\/TranexamicAcidPowder.png?v=1779423363","url":"https:\/\/www.beautyingredientsupply.ca\/products\/beauty-example-product-2","provider":"Beauty Ingredient Supply Co.
