Abstract

Recently many effort focused to understand the mechanical insights of melanogenesis to develop the agent for hyper-pigmentation. So this study was performed to investigate the depigmentation of many herb. This study show that many herb which were generally used for external application have some depigmentation effects. So we should use them for whitening agents and the depigmentation effects of the other natural subjects which were generally used for external application should be examined. In the future, it is nessary more study on the manufacturing method, the time of use and the dose.
