Arbutin Introduction

Arbutin is commercially used as a skin-whitening agent in cosmetic industry. It works by competitive inhibition of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of melanin.

Depending on the spatial structure of the glycosidic linkage between glucose and hydroquinone, Arbutin forms two epimers: α-Arbutin and β-Arbutin.

Botanical Source Of Beta-Arbutin: bearberry

Beta Arbutin

Beta Arbutin is commonly referred to as just Arbutin. It is can be naturally extracted from plants such as bearberry and synthesized by chemical method. Beta Arbutin is currently one of the most widely used hypopigmenting agents in cosmetics, while plant-derived drugs containing Beta-Arbutin were initially used for the treatment of urinary tract infections, cystitis, kidney stones, and as diuretics in the medical field.

Alpha Arbutin

Alpha Arbutin is enzymatically synthesized from hydroquinone and saccharides through transglycosylation reaction. Various carbohydrate-active enzymes such as α-amylase, α-glucosidase, transglucosidase, sucrose phosphorylase, and dextransucrase have been employed to synthesize Alpha Arbutin. It is one of the most advanced skin lightening ingredients on the market.

Arbutin Benefit and Addition level

Skin whitening

Arbutin is a tyrosinase inhibitor. It inhibit the formation of melanin by blocking the synthesis of dopamine and dopaquinone. 

Recommended addition level —— 1-3% (Beta-Arbutin); 0.2-2% (Alpha-Arbutin)

Arbutin application

Arbutin is used as a skin whitening agent in cosmetic formulations. Arbutin soap, cream, serum and lotion are among the major lightening products in the market.

Arbutin’s advantage over traditional skin-whitening products:

Arbutin can inhibit melanogenesis without causing melanocyte toxicity, unlike traditional depigmenting agents such as hydroquinone, corticosteroids.

Arbutin Cosmetic Formula Reference

Whitening cream

Anti-freckle whitening essence

note

  1. β-Arbutin breaks down easily in acidic conditions, so the pH value of cosmetics containing β-Arbutin should be about 7.0
  2. Please dissolve β-Arbutin in 50℃ hot water before adding it to skin whitening products. (β-Arbutin is soluble in hot water, methanol or alcohol. β-Arbutin is partially soluble in cold water. β-Arbutin is insoluble in aether, chloroform or benzene.)
  3. Antioxidants should be added to cosmetics containing β-Arbutin.

Package and Storage

Package: Aluminium foil bag with plastic bag for 1-10kg. Paper drum with two plastic bags for 25kg.

Storage: Please tightly sealed Arbutin in containers. Store it in a cool dry place and away from sunlight and oxidizing agents.

Your Arbutin is good. Thanks to you and your team. I will also buy the Tetrahydocucurmin, and small of glabridin.

A customer from Rwanda: 

Very good. I will keep you posted and I have noticed brightening effect with the very first use!!!

Why there is low priced Alpha Arbutin on the market?

learn more

Melanins are irregular polymeric structures derived from the amino acid tyrosine, and tyrosinase is known to be one of the key enzymes in mammalian melanin synthesis.

Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step of melanin synthesis, which is oxidation of the aromatic amino acid tyrosine to DOPA and subsequently to DOPA-quinone. DOPA-quinone is then converted by multi-step reactions to melanin. As a result, tyrosinase is responsible for the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds from tyrosine by oxidation reactions.
