What affects skin color? Skin color depends primarily on the amount of the pigment Melanin in the skin. The more Melanin, the darker the skin color. Sunlight stimulates the Melanin production thus darkens the skin color. The other factor is the vascularity of the skin, the more capillaries, the rosier the skin looks. Whitening Formulations There are many skin whitening Lotions promoting white skin on the market. ORIKI formula does not contain Hydroquinone, steroids and mercury, which have been shown to have undesirable side effects.
