L-glutathione can be synthesised from the amino acids glycine, L-glutamic acid and L-cysteine. GSH exists in two forms namely, glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and glutathione (GSH) with former being the common form.
The presence of GSH induces the production of pheomelanin (light coloured pigment for skin whitening and fairness) and suppresses the production of eumelanin (darker brown/black pigment).
Being an ingredient of skin whitening products it inhibits melanin synthesis by interrupting L-DOPA’s abilility to bind to enzyme.
L-glutathione's antioxidant properties help to neutralyze the peroxides and free radicals which induce melanin synthesis.
