Anti‐pigmentary activity of fucoxanthin and its influence on skin mRNA expression of melanogenic molecules

Objectives  Carotenoids and retinoic acid derivatives are topically applied for sun‐protective and whitening purposes. Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid derived from edible sea algae, but its effect on melanogenesis has not been established. Therefore, we examined the effect of fucoxanthin on melanogenesis.
