Alpha-Arbutin is the more effective, faster and safer approach to skin lightening. It lightens the color of the skin more efficiently and effectively than do existing single components
COSMETIC APPLICATION:
*All degrees of skin lightening.
FORMULATIONS:
Alpha-arbutin is a water soluble, crystalline, white powder which is easily incorporated into the water phase of cosmetic formulations. Alpha-arbutin is stable against hydrolysis as tested in the pH range from 3.5 to 6.5.
SUGGESTED CONCENTRATION
0.2% when formulated with an exfoliant or penetration enhancer, otherwise up to 2%.
IN-VITRO TEST:
Alpha-arbutin exhibits impressive in-vitro tyrosinase inhibition on human cell lysate (IC50 = 1.0 mMol)
compared to Beta-Arbutin (IC50 = 9.0 mMol).

Chemical Name: 4-Hydroxyphenyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside
PROPERTIES:
Alpha-arbutin blocks epidermal melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine and Dopa. It acts faster and more efficient than do existing single components.
FUCNTION:
*Promotes lightening and an even skin tone on all skin types.
*Minimizes liver spots.
*Can reduce the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure.
