Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic acid (trans-4-(aminomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid) is a synthetic ingredient and is a functional analog of the amino acid lysine. It acts as an antifibrinolytic agent by inhibiting the activation of plasminogen to plasmin, helping to stabilise blood clots. It is widely used in hemostatic drugs as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, as well as in cosmetic products for brightening applications.
