HAS MELASYL™ BEEN TESTED ON ANIMALS?
L'Oréal has been committed to beauty without animal testing for more than 30 years and pioneered the development of alternative methods.
CAN MELASYL™ BE USED BY PREGNANT WOMEN?
All our formulas are strictly evaluated for their quality, safety and efficacy. Their safety is assessed by toxicologists before being placed on the market. However, as pregnancy is an individual experience, we recommend seeking advice from a healthcare professional for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
HOW WAS MELASYL™ DISCOVERED BY L’OREAL R&I?
Resulting from a vast research programme aimed at improving hyperpigmentation solutions, the story of Melasyl™ began 18 years ago with the screening of molecules active in pigmentation. Around 100,000 molecules were tested to evaluate their impact on melanin production. In 2015, several of them were selected for their safety to human and environmental health. Following these tests, researchers found that Melasyl™ provided the fastest clinical results for skin brightening.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE L’OREAL R&I TO DEVELOP MELASYL™?
It took nearly 20 years of research for L’Oréal R&I to develop Melasyl™. First synthesized in 2005, Melasyl™ is now protected by 23 patents*. Throughout its development, a series of rigorous tests were conducted to select the right molecule, thoroughly evaluating its environmental profile, safety, and efficacy across all skin tones and types. *Not patented in Australia or New Zealand
