What is glutathione?
Glutathione is a tripeptide, made up of three amino acids - cysteine, glutamine and glycine. It's a powerful antioxidant that is produced naturally in the body. Glutathione plays a key role in maintaining optimum skin and overall health like

1. Fight free radical and oxidative damage.
2. Supports immune health\
3. Aids detoxification
4. Prevent signs of aging
5. Fights inflammation

Why is Glutathione a magical ingredient for Indian skin type?
India is a country of cultural diversity, hence a vast skin complexion, ranging from fair to dark. Indian skin is referred to as wheatish skin tone depending on genetics, climatic conditions and environmental factors. Indian skin tone is rich in melanin, a pigment responsible for skin colour. If more melanin is produced in the body, it results in darker skin tone. Major skin concern of most of the Indians is hyperpigmentation, tanning, sun exposure, stubborn dark spots, etc. Glutathione plays a crucial role for improving skin health.

1. Glutathione works to inhibit the role of enzyme tyrosinase which is responsible for melanin production in the body. Hence, controlled levels of melanin prevents hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
2. Due to its antioxidant properties, it scavenges free radicals and oxidative damage, which helps to reverse signs of aging and blemishes.
3. It improves a skin’s protective barrier against UV rays, free radicals and oxidative stress, preventing cell damage. Thus, it reduces skin tanning, dark spots, premature aging and prevents uneven skin tone.
4. The natural detoxifying role works to flush out toxins, promoting glowing and brightening skin.
5. It is also effective to soothe inflamed and irritated skin, reducing redness and rashes.
6. Helps to repair and regenerate damaged skin cells and tissues, improving skin elasticity and suppleness.

Though Glutathione is naturally produced in the body, it gets depleted due to exposure to environmental factors, hence you can consider supplementation. There are many products available to improve Glutathione for enhanced skin glow.
