About

A salt of tranexamic acid with tartaric acid that helps brighten skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots.

Tranexammonium tartrate combines tranexamic acid (an amino acid derivative known for its skin-brightening properties) with tartaric acid (a fruit-derived alpha-hydroxy acid). This combination provides gentle exfoliation alongside melanin-inhibiting activity. Both components have extensive safety histories. No EU Annex restrictions are documented for this specific salt combination.
