Product description

Alpha Arbutin (AA) is a beautifying and whitening agent that can effectively and selectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for melanin production, which affects skin pigmentation), thereby eliminating melanin production and hyperpigmentation without altering normal epidermal cell growth or inhibiting the expression of tyrosinase itself. Alpha arbutin is derived from plants of the Arctostaphylos genus, making it 100% plant-derived.

Due to its various beneficial properties, alpha-arbutin is often used in skin care products as well as cosmetic formulations. It helps to prevent the formation of dark spots, evens skin tone and improves skin texture. Unlike hydroquinone, which has been used in the past to reduce pigmentation, alpha arbutin is gentler and suitable for more sensitive skin. AA prevents the uneven deposition of melanin in the skin. Although melanin is essential to protect cells from UV rays, excessive concentrations lead to pigment spots, scars and uneven skin tone.

Skin Care: It is mainly used for its lightening and brightening effects on the skin. It helps to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, age spots and melasma and promotes a more even skin tone.

Cosmetic products: it is often added to preparations to improve the effects on the skin. Due to its brightening effect, it helps to achieve a more radiant and youthful appearance. In addition, due to the antioxidant properties of alpha-arbutin, it is useful in protecting the skin from free radicals and environmental damage, thus contributing to the overall health of the skin.

Alpha arbutin can be incorporated into ointments, creams and serums.

Alpha arbutin is water soluble.
