Alpha-Arbutin Powder

Alpha-Arbutin (4- Hydroxyphenyl-±-D-glucopyranoside) is a pure, water soluble, biosynthetic active ingredient. Alpha-Arbutin blocks epidermal melanin synthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine and Dopa. Arbutin appears to have fewer side effects than hydroquinone at similar concentrations – presumably due to the more gradual release. It is the more effective, faster and safer approach to promoting skin-brightening and an even skin tone on all skin types. Alpha-Arbutin also minimizes liver spots and meets all the requirements of a modern skin-brightening and skin depigmentation product.

Alpha-Arbutin is water soluble and easily incorporated into the water phase of cosmetic formulations. It should be processed at a maximum temperature of 40°C and is stable against hydrolysis as tested in the pH range from 3.5 – 6.6. Suggested concentration: 0.2{5d4cf967139b57bba3d587f5b418945dd2211b60ad6376ae07117b8ee5044bfc} when formulated with an exfoliant or penetration enhancer, otherwise up to 2{5d4cf967139b57bba3d587f5b418945dd2211b60ad6376ae07117b8ee5044bfc}.
