Arbutin Powder, I believe everyone is familiar with it, which is one of the most popular whitening raw materials in recent years, and also an good skin whitening and freckle-removing active agent in the 21st century. It is mainly extracted from the dried leaves of the plant arctostaphylos uva ursi , and is a skin care product that integrates “green plants, safety and reliability” and “efficient decolorization”. It can quickly penetrate into the skin, effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the skin, and block the formation of melanin. It mainly accelerates the decomposition and excretion of melanin through its direct combination with tyrosinase, thereby reducing skin pigmentation, removing pigmentation and freckles. Meanwhile, it does not produce toxic, irritating, sensitizing and other side effects to melanocytes.
The main active ingredients of Bearberry Leaf Extract are arbutin and ursolic acid. Ursolic acid has obvious effects on a variety of malignant tumor cells. Arbutin is an inhibitor of tyrosinase in human melanocytes, and has good hydrophilicity, so it is the main raw material commonly used in whitening cosmetics at home and abroad. Many countries in the world have applied arbutin to cosmetics.
Speaking of arbutin, I have to introduce - Hydroquinone, which can interfere with the formation of melanin to achieve whitening effect, but because of its irritant, it can cause irritant dermatitis and pigmentation, then listed as a prohibited cosmetic in many countries. The effect of arbutin is almost equal to that of hydroquinone, but because of pure plant extraction, harmless and non-irritating , so it has been very popular in the cosmetics industry after it was discovered.
Arbutin can be divided into α and β types according to different structures, both of them have the effect of inhibiting tyrosine enzyme to achieve whitening effect. However, the β-arbutin is more controversial. According to research, it will enter the stratum corneum cells ,and decompose a small amount of hydroquinone; While the α-arbutin component is relatively stable and will not decompose hydroquinone. It is mild and non-irritating. As long as your addition little ( about 1/9 of β-arbutin) can inhibit the production of tyrosine to achieve whitening effect.
