Alpha Arbutin Powder ossesses the unique alpha glucosidic bond of hydroquinone glycosidase, an important ingredient known for its exceptional ability to reduce discoloration and inhibit melanin production. Melanin is the main pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their color. However, overproduction can lead to hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. By effectively inhibiting tyrosinase activity (the enzyme responsible for catalyzing melanin synthesis), Alpha Arbutin ensures a more radiant complexion.
One of the outstanding qualities of Alpha Arbutin is its purity and water solubility. This makes it an easy-to-incorporate ingredient into a variety of formulations, allowing cosmetics and skincare manufacturers to realize its full potential. Its powder form ensures it blends seamlessly into creams, serums, lotions and numerous other beauty products.
