Why do medical professionals recommend α-Arbutin for whitening?
Studies have found that α-arbutin is stable under the action of surfactants and metal ions, and is relatively stable under the action of high temperature, and the effect is good, so it is widely used.
Arbutin is a common tyrosinase inhibitor on the market, which can quickly penetrate into the skin. By inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase in the skin, it blocks the formation of melanin and accelerates the decomposition and excretion of melanin. Moreover, arbutin does not produce toxic, irritating, sensitizing, or other side effects on melanocytes. At the same time, arbutin also has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects.
Arbutin is divided into α-type and β-type, both of which have a whitening effect.
The stability, effect, and safety of α-arbutin are better than β-arbutin. Studies have found that α-arbutin is stable under the action of surfactants and metal ions, and is relatively stable under the action of high temperature, and the effect is good, so it is widely used.
Regarding the safe concentration of α-arbutin 99% factory:
α-Arbutin CAS 84380-01-8: It is relatively safe for consumers to use in cosmetics. The concentration in face cream products can reach up to 2%, and the concentration in body lotion products can reach up to 0.5%.
With the current technical support and strict control of the concentration used, α-arbutin can be used with confidence.
