A topical composition is disclosed that is effective in lightening the color of skin and/or inhibiting melanogenesis. The topical composition comprises Arctostaphylos uva ursi extract, Scutellaria extract, glycyrrhizic acid, Glycine soja extract, and Fagus sylvatica extract. The topical composition can inhibit melanogenesis in skin tissue without the concomitant adverse impact on cellular viability expected from these ingredients. In some cases, the topical composition further comprises a dermatological carrier such as, for example, a lotion or a cream, for administration to a subject's skin. Methods of making the topical composition are also disclosed along with methods of using the topical composition for skin lightening and inhibition of melanogenesis.
