APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Lotion 300ml

APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Lotion 300ml

APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Lotion is a brightening, barrier-repairing body moisturiser formulated around the brand’s proprietary LIPO GLUTA NIAC CEN™ 12.5% complex — an integrated brightening system combining liposomal Glutathione, Niacinamide, and a high-concentration Centella Asiatica Extract base to simultaneously address dullness, uneven tone, body dark spots, and skin sensitivity in a single lightweight lotion step. The formula features APLB’s patented Centella 3X Complex™ delivering three isolated Centella triterpenoids for targeted barrier repair and anti-inflammatory activity, supported by a skin-identical lamellar lipid delivery matrix that enhances the absorption of the brightening actives. Lightweight, milky lotion texture with rapid non-sticky absorption. Free from artificial fragrance, mineral oil, and parabens. Passed skin irritation testing — suitable for daily use on sensitive skin.

LIPO GLUTA NIAC CEN™ 12.5% — The Core Brightening Complex

The formula’s central active system combines three ingredients in precisely calibrated concentrations:

• Glutathione (1,000ppm): A tripeptide (Glutamic Acid + Cysteine + Glycine) functioning as the body’s master endogenous antioxidant. In skin brightening, Glutathione inhibits tyrosinase — the key rate-limiting enzyme in melanin biosynthesis — while simultaneously shifting melanin production from the darker eumelanin pathway toward the lighter phaeomelanin pathway. This dual mechanism produces progressive brightening and tone-evening with consistent use. In this formula, Glutathione is delivered via a liposomal lipid system formed by the Hydrogenated Lecithin and Cholesterol present in the formula — the same lamellar bilayer structure as the skin’s own intercellular lipid matrix — maximising Glutathione’s absorption through the skin barrier. The “Lipo” in LIPO GLUTA NIAC CEN™ refers to this liposomal encapsulation strategy
• Niacinamide (1,000ppm): Inhibits the transfer of melanosomes (melanin-containing vesicles) from melanocytes to surrounding keratinocytes — interrupting the distribution of existing pigment across the skin surface at a pathway step distinct from tyrosinase inhibition. This makes Niacinamide directly complementary to Glutathione, with the two actives blocking melanin accumulation at two separate points in the pigmentation process. Niacinamide additionally stimulates ceramide synthesis to strengthen the body’s skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and improves overall moisture retention
• Centella Asiatica Extract (12.3%): Present at a clinically meaningful high concentration as the lotion’s second largest ingredient after water — providing the formula’s primary soothing, anti-inflammatory, and barrier-repair foundation. Centella’s full-spectrum triterpenoids calm the inflammatory signals that drive post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), making this extract particularly important for body skin that is prone to darkening after friction, sun exposure, or irritation

Centella 3X Complex™ — Patented Isolated Triterpenoid System

Beyond the full Centella Asiatica Extract, APLB adds three isolated and purified Centella triterpenoids as independent actives — a proprietary combination protected as the Centella 3X Complex™:

• Madecassic Acid: The aglycone (sugar-free) form of Madecassoside — with potent anti-inflammatory activity via NF-κB pathway suppression, antimicrobial properties against skin-surface pathogens, and wound-healing acceleration. On body skin regularly exposed to friction, shaving, or environmental stress, Madecassic Acid’s wound-healing support is particularly beneficial for preventing and reducing post-inflammatory darkening
• Asiaticoside: Activates dermal fibroblast proliferation and stimulates Collagen Type I synthesis and glycosaminoglycan (GAG, including hyaluronic acid) production in the dermis — improving skin elasticity and firmness with consistent use, and contributing to the lotion’s anti-aging body care benefits beyond brightening alone
• Asiatic Acid: The aglycone of Asiaticoside — supporting dermal remodelling, collagen cross-linking, and antioxidant defence at the cellular level. Works synergistically with Asiaticoside to amplify the collagen-synthesis and tissue-regeneration activity of the full Centella complex

Hydration & Barrier Repair Matrix

A multi-layer hydration system addresses both surface and deep moisture needs: Glycerin provides the primary humectant base, drawing atmospheric moisture into the upper skin layers. Sodium Hyaluronate — the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid — penetrates into the dermis to provide lasting deep-tissue hydration. Beta-Glucan (yeast-derived polysaccharide) delivers intensive soothing, wound-healing, and anti-aging moisturisation with clinically demonstrated penetration into the dermis. Saccharide Hydrolysate provides a biomimetic Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF)-mimicking sugar complex for long-lasting surface hydration.

Squalane — plant-derived, fully saturated — supplies a lightweight, non-comedogenic emollient layer that seals hydration without heaviness or residue. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride adds an additional featherweight emollient. Hydrogenated Lecithin and Cholesterol — skin-identical phospholipid and sterol — together recreate the lamellar bilayer structure of the stratum corneum’s intercellular lipid matrix, actively replenishing the barrier lipids depleted by washing, friction, and environmental exposure while simultaneously serving as the liposomal delivery vehicle for the Glutathione.

Botanical Active Complex — Antioxidant, Brightening & Antimicrobial Support

A supporting botanical complex addresses oxidative stress, secondary brightening pathways, and skin sensitivity:

• Hydrolyzed Collagen: Short peptide chains and amino acids derived from collagen hydrolysis — forming a conditioning film on the skin surface that improves elasticity perception and supports structural proteins. Applied to body skin, it contributes to the smooth, firm skin feel that distinguishes this formula from basic body lotions
• Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract: Exceptionally rich in Vitamins C and E, carotenoids (Beta-Carotene, Lycopene, Zeaxanthin), and flavonoids — providing a concentrated antioxidant complex that neutralises UV and pollution-induced free radical oxidative stress, supporting the Glutathione’s brightening mechanism by reducing the oxidative triggers of melanin overproduction
• Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus) Extract: Contains Quercetin, Luteolin, and Miquelianin — flavonoids with antioxidant, tyrosinase-inhibiting, and pore-clarifying activity that complement the primary brightening actives
• Artemisia Annua (Sweet Wormwood) Extract: Rich in Artemisinin and Artemetin — anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actives that reduce body skin irritation and help control the surface microbiome contributing to body acne and folliculitis
• Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract: Provides Gamma-Oryzanol and Ferulic Acid — plant antioxidants with specific brightening and UV-damage-protection activity, traditionally associated with skin tone evening in Asian skincare
• Saccharomyces Ferment: A postbiotic yeast ferment providing barrier-fortifying beta-glucans, amino acids, and enzymes that strengthen the skin microbiome-barrier interface
• Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract: Contains Nasunin (a rare anthocyanin antioxidant), Chlorogenic Acid, and Caffeic Acid — providing strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support specifically highlighted for calming sensitive and reactive skin
• Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract: Delivers Terpinen-4-ol — the primary antimicrobial terpene in Tea Tree oil — in a gentler extract form, providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory support for body skin prone to breakouts, folliculitis, or keratosis pilaris

How to Use

After showering, while skin is still slightly damp, apply a moderate amount of lotion and spread evenly across the body, massaging gently until fully absorbed. For best brightening results, use consistently morning and evening. Follow with sunscreen on exposed body areas during the day to protect and maximise the brightening benefits of Glutathione and Niacinamide.
