Product Details
Description
Arbutin is mainly extracted from the leaves of bearberry plants (also known as bear grape, bearberry, purple forest, is a plant of the azalea family Ursalis. The fruit is a red berry), and is now mainly used in skin care products. Brighten skin tone, the effect is better than that of skin care ingredients such as niacinamide and vc.
Arbutin is divided into α-type and β-type, both of which have whitening effects, but β-type is the most widely used in the market. α-arbutin is only produced by a few manufacturers because it is difficult to extract and synthesize α-arbutin. The price is about 8 times that of β-arbutin, but the whitening effect is 10 to 15 times that of the former.
According to a study, the addition of α type to β type at a concentration of 1/9 can inhibit the production of tyrosinase and achieve whitening effect, but detailed toxicological research has not yet seen it. Now all skin care products that add α arbutin demand it. It has a whitening effect ten times higher than traditional arbutin..
