alpha-Arbutin

Description

Arbutin is a derivative of hydroquinone. Like hydroquinone, it has an antibacterial effect and interferes with cell processes. When taken internally, toxicity can result and changes in heart rate and gastrointestinal damage can occur. When applied topically, arbutin produces similar but milder effects as phenol (hydroquinone) on skin tissue. Arbutin interferes with the production of pigment in cells (melanin), thereby preventing the formation and enhancing the breakdown of melanin. Topical application of arbutin produces less toxicity and irritation than phenol.

Function

Alpha arbutin is a pure, water soluble, biosynthetic active ingredient from pear skin. Alpha arbutin blocks epidermal melanin synthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine and Dopa.Alpha arbutin (4-hydroxyphenyl-D-lucopyranoside) is a synthetic and functional active ingredient for skin lightening. Alpha Arbutin ensures an even and lighter skin tone, it reduces the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure, and it also helps to minimize the appearance of liver spots. Biosynthetic ingredient, derived from bearberry.All kinds of skin-lightening products including lotions, creams, makeup products.

100% pure plant extract alpha arbutin powder,A skin whitening study on 60 Chinese descent women demonstrated that an emulsion containing 1% alpha arbutin resulted in a faster and more pronounced skin lightening effect after 28 days when compared with kojic acid and β-arbutin at 1% use levels. The parameter L which represents the lightness of skin was determined by means of chromameter.
