ProductDescription:

α-Arbutin is a chemical substance. Alpha- arbutin, similar to arbutin, can inhibit the production and deposition of melanin and remove freckles and freckles. The results showed that-arbutin could inhibit the activity of tyrosinase at relatively low concentration, and its inhibitory effect on tyrosinase was better than that of arbutin. Alpha-arbutin can be used as a whitening agent in cosmetics.

The whitening mechanism of α-arbutin directly inhibits tyrosinase activity, thereby reducing melanin production, rather than by inhibiting cell growth or tyrosinase gene expression. Because α-arbutin is a more efficient and safer whitening active substance, many cosmetic companies at home and abroad have used α-arbutin instead of β-arbutin as whitening additive.

The difference between α-arbutin and β-arbutin:

The optical rotation of α-arbutin is about + 180 degrees, while that of β-arbutin is about-60 degrees.Compared with β-arbutin, α-arbutin is more soluble in water and resistant to high temperature, good photostability, no cytotoxicity in safe dose, and the inhibitory effect of melanin is 10-15 times stronger than that of β-arbutin. α-arbutin can be used in the day time.

α-arbutin is generally used in high-grade whitening cosmetics.

Uses, benefits, Side Effects

α-arbutin has a good therapeutic effect on scars caused by ultraviolet burns, and has good anti-inflammatory, repair and whitening effects. It can inhibit the production and deposition of melanin and remove freckles and freckles.

Many commercial products containing alpha-arbutin are sold to reduce brown age spots, whiten the skin, and reduce erythema (a redness of the skin). Alpha arbutin is sold in the form of face creams, lotions and serums. Products on the market are whitening creams, anti-age spot body lotions, fading creams, gloss and gloss creams, and body bleaching solutions.

No side effects known in the concentrations used.
