α-Arbutin (Alpha Arbutin) is a new type of active compound for beautifying and whitening the skin.α-Arbutin (Alpha Arbutin) can be rapidly absorbed into the skin and selectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, therefore obstruct the melanogenesis without altering the normal growth of epidermic cell or inhibiting the expression of tyrosinase itself. Meanwhile, α-Arbutin (Alpha Arbutin) also promotes decomposition and excretion of melanin, therefore, reduces the deposition of skin pigment and removes color spots and freckles.α-Arbutin’s inhibition towards mammalian tyrosinase is 10 times more active than β-Arbutin and the involved processes neither produce hydroquinone, nor have other side effects including toxicity, irritation and sensitization of skin. These properties result in α-Arbutin (Alpha Arbutin) being the safest and most effective skin-whitening and spot-removing substance developed to date.α-Arbutin (Alpha Arbutin) also helps disinfect and moisturize the skin and eliminate inflammation. It helps the wounded skin recover as well. These properties make α-Arbutin (Alpha Arbutin) an essential cosmetic ingredient for many applications.

α-Arbutin (Alpha Arbutin) is a patented product of our company and produced by fermentation.
