Alpha-Arbutin is a synthetic mono-substance that acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor. which shows impressive in-vitro tyrosinase inhibition on human cells. Alpha Arbutin blocks epidermal melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine and Dopa. It acts faster and more efficiently than existing single components, minimizes liver spots and reduces the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure.
It is a synthetic and functional active ingredient for skin lightening ;
Alpha-Arbutin blocks epidermal melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine and Dopa. Promotes skin lightening and an even skin tone on all skin types. Minimizes liver spots.
Recommended concentration 0.2-2%, add to water phase of formula, best results use product containing Alpha-arbutin for at least 2-3 months ;
All kinds of skin-lightening products including lotions .
Alpha-arbutin is soluble in cold water,(151g/L at 20ºC) and can be easily incorporated into cosmetic formulation either warm (<70ºC) or cold. Alpha-arbutin is stable in the PH range of 3.5 to 6.5.
