Zinc sulphate
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Zinc sulphate is an orally active inhibitor of tyrosinase and glutathione reductase. Zinc sulphate enhances the activity of dopachrome tautomerase. Zinc sulphate delays anagen-related eumelanin production, induces hair hypopigmentation in mice, and accelerates wound healing. Zinc sulphate can be used in research related to benign gastric ulcers. Zinc sulphate can be used in research related to rheumatoid arthritis.

Biological Activity
Zinc inhibits tyrosinase and glutathione reductase in vitro, but also enhances the activity of dopachrome tautomerase and acts as an agonist of melanocortin receptor signaling[1].

Result:Observed macroscopic bright brown lightening of new hair shafts produced during anagen, with the effect maintained throughout the treatment period.
Confirmed no switch from eumelanogenesis to phaeomelanogenesis via EPR analysis.
Reduced and poorly pigmented melanin granules in precortical hair matrix keratinocytes, hair bulb melanocytes, and hair shafts compared with controls.
Maintained hair coat lightening usually persisted until the immediately consecutive anagen phase after treatment discontinuation.
