Description
Arbutin is the active substance originated from natural plant which can whiten and lighten skin. Arbutin is a natural skin lightening/whitening agent. It works by slowly releasing hydroqui none through hydrolysis, which in turn blocks Tyrosinase activity and reduces the skin's melanin (pigmentation) production. In cosmetics, this ingredient appears in two different forms: Alpha-Arbutin or Beta-Arbutin. Due to patenting concerns, most skin care products contain plant extracts that contain Arbutin (e.g. bearberry, pear, blueberry), rather than pure Arbutin. Used in a variety of cosmetics, particularly ones aimed at lightening the skin such as lotions, cremes, serums, cleansers, and spot treatments.
