To overcome the adverse effects of existing antimelanogenic agents, we developed rose-derived extracellular vesicle-like particles (RS-EVLP) as a novel and biocompatible melanogenesis inhibitor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: RS-EVLP were isolated from roses and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and mass spectrometry. Their anti-melanogenic effects were evaluated in B16 cells via melanin content and tyrosinase activity assays. Molecular mechanisms were investigated using molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis. In vivo efficacy was assessed in a zebrafish model, followed by a clinical trial in human volunteers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: RS-EVLP exhibited a bilayer nanostructure (50-150 nm) and contained natural anti-melanogenic components, including luteolin and procyanidin B3. They showed high binding affinity to microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1). In B16 cells, RS-EVLP dose-dependently reduced melanin content and tyrosinase activity by downregulating MITF and the transcription of tyrosinase (TYR)\/TRP-1\/TRP-2 enzyme system. In zebrafish, RS-EVLP reduced melanin spot area by 24% \u00b1 17.5%. Clinical studies confirmed that a 5% RS-EVLP formulation progressively enhanced skin brightness as skin penetration efficiency increased.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: RS-EVLP overcomes the limitations in bioavailability and toxicity associated with traditional synthetic whitening agents, offering a promising natural alternative for developing whitening cosmeceuticals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.20517\/evcna.2026.55","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T07:54:36Z","timestamp":1788508476000},"page":"1388-410","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.20517\/oae.crossmark.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Rose-derived
