What is Alpha Arbutin?
Alpha Arbutin is a pure, water soluble, biosynthetic active ingredient. Alpha-Arbutin blocks epidermal melanin synthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine and Dopa. Arbutin appears to have fewer side effects than hydroquinone at similar concentrations - presumably due to the more gradual release.

Usage
Function of Alpha Arbutin
1. Fades stains
One of the main effects of arbutin is to lighten spots and whiten the skin. Generally speaking, melanin in the human body will increase with age, and melanin will cause skin coloration. At this time, if arbutin is used, some components of arbutin can inhibit tyrosine in the body. The activity of acid enzyme prevents the oxidation of tyrosine, affects the synthesis of dopa and dopaquinone, inhibits the production of melanin, reduces the deposition of skin pigments, and achieves the effect of lightening pigmentation and whitening skin. Therefore, arbutin is used in many cosmetics.
2. Analgesic and anti-inflammatory
Arbutin also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. In our daily life, the main raw material for making burns and scalds includes arbutin. It has strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic capabilities. After arbutin is made into a medicine, it is applied on The burned area can effectively reduce inflammation and swelling, and accelerate the speed of wound healing.
3. Antitussive and expectorant
Arbutin can also have antitussive and expectorant effects. This substance can increase mucus secretion in organs, prolong the incubation period of cough caused by ammonia, thereby reducing the frequency of coughing.
4. Sterilization and antidiarrhea
Arbutin also has anti-bacterial and anti-diarrheal effects. Some drugs that are more common in daily life for the treatment of gastroenteritis also contain a certain amount of arbutin, because arbutin has anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrheal and antiseptic effects, and is effective in eliminating inflammation. At the same time, it can also prevent the virus from continuing to multiply in the stomach and intestines.
