Glutathione — The King of Antioxidants

Glutathione — The King of Antioxidants

Collagen, vitamins, hyaluronic acid...

There’s no shortage of ingredients said to be good for the skin.

But among them all, why did House of B choose glutathione?

Often called “the miracle molecule,”
glutathione is more than just a trendy ingredient.

Let us share with you what makes it truly powerful —
and why we believe in its remarkable effects.

 

 

A powerful antioxidant and anti-aging agent.
The queen of brightening.
The key ingredient in “whitening drips.”
A renowned booster for fatigue recovery.

If you’re into skincare,
you’ve likely heard of this name at least once:

Glutathione.

 

The biggest enemy of skin aging?
Free radicals.

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant
well-known for protecting essential cell components
from damage caused by oxidative stress.

It’s a naturally occurring compound
made up of three amino acids — glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid —
and is known for neutralizing free radicals
and slowing visible signs of aging.

Glutathione has also been linked to brightening effects.
In fact, studies published in respected journals have shown
that oral intake of glutathione for four weeks
led to a noticeable reduction in melanin levels
across six different areas of the body,
including the face, arms, and back.

With benefits like these,
you’d think glutathione would be everywhere in skincare, right?

So why hasn’t it been used as a main ingredient?

Unlike more common ingredients like collagen or vitamin C,
glutathione is notoriously difficult to work with —
precisely because it’s so effective.

The challenge lies in delivering it deep into the skin
in a way that preserves its full potential.

But at House of B, we don’t take the easy route. 😌

We were determined to find a better way —
a way to deliver this powerful ingredient
with maximum efficacy.

So we developed a unique 2-step system
and combined it with our patented absorption film,
designed to help glutathione absorb more effectively
into the skin, exactly where it matters.

“Glutathione showed significant effects in melanin suppression and antioxidant activity experiments, with even stronger results observed at higher concentrations.
It also demonstrated notable efficacy in collagen production tests.”

— From the study: “The Antioxidant, Whitening, and Anti-Wrinkle Effects of Glutathione and Proteoglycans” by Hyejeong Jung

Numerous studies have confirmed glutathione’s efficacy
in antioxidant protection, brightening, and wrinkle improvement.

And what’s more —
these effects have been shown to be even more pronounced at higher concentrations.

That’s why House of B chose to use
99% high-purity glutathione at a high concentration
a decision backed by science, not just belief.

We chose glutathione because we wanted to make this powerful, anti-aging ingredient
more accessible and easier to enjoy in your daily skincare ritual. 🥰
