Alpha Arbutin

Alpha Arbutin

Description: Alpha Arbutin is a water-soluble, biosynthetic active ingredient derived from the bearberry plant. It is a powerful skin-lightening agent that works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Alpha Arbutin is often used in skincare products to help reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. It is well-tolerated by all skin types and is known for its safety and efficacy in brightening the complexion.

Applications:

• Skin Care Products: Alpha Arbutin is widely used in various skin care formulations, including serums, creams, lotions, and masks. It is particularly effective in products targeting hyperpigmentation, age spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Brightening Treatments: Used in specialized treatments to brighten and even out the skin tone.
• Cosmetics: Can be incorporated into cosmetics like foundations and concealers to provide a brightening effect.

Handling and Storage:

• Handling: Handle Alpha Arbutin in a well-ventilated area. Use protective gloves, clothing, and eye protection to avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of dust. Ensure proper hygiene practices, such as washing hands thoroughly after handling.
• Storage: Store Alpha Arbutin in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use to prevent degradation. The ideal storage temperature is between 2-8°C.
