ProductDescription:

Arbutin is a Hydroquinone glycoside compound, chemically named 4-hydroquinone-alpha-d-glucopyranosid, which exists in plants such as arba fruit and cranberry. It is a new natural whitening active substance without irritation, allergy and strong compatibility. There are two structural and functional functional groups in the molecular structure of arbutin: first, glucose residue; The second is the phenolic hydroxyl group. The physical state of α-arbutin is white powder, and it is soluble in water and ethanol.

The difference between α-arbutin and β-arbutin:

1. The inhibitory effect of α-arbutin on tyrosinase activity was about 10 times stronger than that of β.
2. α-arbutin traditional β-arbutin has a stronger whitening effect.
3. The diazepam of α-arbutin is effective and does not absorb light during the day.
4. α-arbutin is available in the morning, and β-arbutin will be depleted, so β-arbutin cannot be used during the day.

α-arbutin is generally used in high-grade whitening cosmetics.
