Whitening emulsion products use synthetic or herbal ingredients to lighten the skin tone or reduce the extent of melanin to give an even skin tone. Whitening emulsions contain elements that reduce the body's secretion of melanin. Bleaching products work by reducing the number of melanocytes in the skin layer. Most people use whitening emulsions to treat skin problems such as acne scars, age spots, or hormone-related discoloration. This technique is also used to lighten naturally dark skin.
Sales of whitening emulsions accounted for 30.7% share of the global skincare market in 2021.

Growing controversies around the use of skin-whitening products around the world can hinder market growth.
Whitening emulsions are used to reduce melanin levels in the skin, making the skin more radiant and even. Various topical solutions have been used extensively, including lotions, gels, creams, and other topical therapies. However, these do not guarantee 100% effectiveness. Therefore, several consumers are opting for combination therapies for skin whitening treatment. These include laser treatments and chemical peels, along with the use of topical solutions, which lead to better results.
These factors could have a negative effect on the developmental growth of the market for whitening emulsions.
