ActiBiso™ Arbutin Pro (Alpha-Arbutin)

α-Arbutin is a stable, high-purity whitening agent obtained through enzymatic conversion, distinguished by its single α configuration. Its effectiveness lies in its structural resemblance to tyrosine, allowing it to competitively inhibit tyrosinase. By binding to tyrosinase, it competes for the dopa binding site, which effectively decreases tyrosine activity in the skin, reduces melanin production, and promotes the breakdown and elimination of melanin. This leads to less melanin accumulation and helps fade spots and freckles, all while being non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing to melanocytes. Furthermore, α-arbutin has antibacterial properties.

Key Benefits and Features:

1. Safety and Effectiveness:α-Arbutin is among the safest and most effective skin whitening agents available, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, providing reassurance to users.

2. Superior Stability and Longevity: Its stability is much higher than that of β-arbutin, with durability up to 15 times greater, ensuring consistent effectiveness over time, even in complex formulations.

3. Non-Toxic Profile: Unlike some whitening agents, α-arbutin does not generate hydroquinone, which can cause cytotoxicity and irritation, making it a safer choice for long-term skincare.

4. Multifunctional Benefits: In addition to its whitening effects, α-arbutin offers moisturizing properties, helping to keep the skin hydrated, supports skin healing, and possesses antibacterial effects, enhancing overall skin health.
