 <p>Kokuma, a biotech company specializing in cosmetic ingredients, has recently unveiled two new active ingredients for skin pigmentation control at the Cosmetic 360 trade show in Paris. These ingredients can be easily stored as they are available in powdered form and can be kept at room temperature.</p>
 
<p>The company's first product, TONASULIKE-D, is an innovative depigmenting active ingredient that comes from traditional Chinese medicine. It is reimagined using AI technology and is capable of reducing melanin production by up to 86%. The company's second product, TONASULIKE-P, is a revolutionary melanin booster that can double the natural production of melanin in the skin without any UV exposure, offering a natural tan within 20 days.</p>
 
<p>Kokuma states that TONASULIKE-D provides a safe alternative to the current skin-lightening molecules available in the market, showing results that are dose-dependent. On the other hand, TONASULIKE-P gives a long-lasting natural tan that does not require UV exposure. Both the ingredients can be produced using two methods – through chemical synthesis or biochemical fermentation.</p>
