Whitening, fading, brightening skin... are the long-standing demands of market customers. The products we are familiar with are β-arbutin, α-arbutin, peony flower extract, glabridin... The whitening effect of α-arbutin is 10 times that of β-arbutin, and it has good stability. It is being recognized by the public and is called "whitening star".

Safety of α-Arbutin

Experiments show that α-arbutin has no cytotoxicity: α-arbutin can significantly reduce the activity of tyrosinase in melanocytes without affecting the survival activity of cells.

In July 2015, α-arbutin was recognized as a safe and efficient cosmetic whitening raw material by the European Commission on Consumer Safety (SCCS).

Stability of α-Arbutin

The α-arbutin converted by biological enzymes has high purity and stable structure (better heat resistance and light resistance), and will not be decomposed by β-glucosidase in human skin during use, ensuring α- - Excellent stability of arbutin in production and application.

High Efficiency of α-Arbutin

Studies have shown that α-arbutin is a competitive and reversible active substance that specifically inhibits tyrosinase due to its structural characteristics similar to the substrate of tyrosinase. Inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, and this inhibition is reversible, which proves the high efficiency of α-arbutin in principle (α-arbutin inhibits the activity of tyrosinase through specific and reversible competition, preventing It can cut off the formation of melanin, accelerate the decomposition and excretion of melanin, reduce the deposition of skin pigment, and achieve the effect of whitening and fading, so α-arbutin has high whitening effect and persistence).

Other benefits of alpha-arbutin

α-Arbutin also has the functions of emollient, invasive, bactericidal and coordinated anti-inflammatory, and is currently recognized as a safe and effective whitening raw material.

As a whitening cosmetic raw material, it also has the functions of safety, stability, high efficiency, emollient, invasive, sterilizing, and anti-inflammatory, which is in line with the concept of human pursuit of whitening.
