What is Alpha Arbutin?

Alpha Arbutin is derived from the bearberry plant, and unlike hydroquinone, it has no negative side effects on the skin. When applied topically, it is known to inhibit tyrosinase activity, and prevent the formation of melanin. Compared to Beta Arbutin, alpha-arbutin is more stable, and also more expensive to manufacture. Due to its effect on the tyrosinase enzyme, and it's ability to be used safely, dermatologists consider Alpha Arbutin the safest option to skin lightening and minimizing dark spots.

Although it is effective just on its own, when paired with other natural skin lightening agents, such as Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Kojic Acid, it has a much more potent skin lightening effect on the skin. Alpha-arbutin powder is a water-soluble compound that can be added to your natural skin lightening lotion/base lotion to create a natural skin lightening effect on the skin.

Alpha Arbutin Benefits:

1) Reduces dark patches or spots

Hyperpigmentation can occur due to many factors, including sunburns, melasma, liver spots, inflammation, etc. What’s the reason behind it, you may ask? Well, it is because the hyperactive melanocytes, which give off the pigment in excess, accumulate at various points.

So, the topical application of Alpha Arbutin reduces the degree of skin darkening by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase.

Melasma, commonly manifested among pregnant women, is a skin condition showing brown patches on the face. Often termed as the "pregnancy mask," it occurs due to sweeping shifts in the hormones. Using arbutin regularly could potentially decrease the pigment density of these patches.

Lentigines are characterized by flat, tan black, or brown spots on the skin’s surface. Also known as the liver spots or age spots, they are indicative of your age. Alpha arbutin degrades the melanin content that has piled up over time in the shape of these spots.

Freckles are bunches of concentrated melanin, mostly found in the fair-skinned individuals. Exposure to UV radiations affects their occurrence pattern and color intensity. Arbutin holds back melanogenesis (the process that produces the pigment melanin), decreasing freckles and fine lines.

2) Smoothens the skin tone

Alpha-arbutin powder works on the skin texture, calming the uneven complexion down. It brightens the skin and provides a radiant glow to it.

It also fades out the acne scars (notably, the red and purple ones), which hang around for long after those severe zits are gone.

3) Moisturises the skin to a satisfactory extent

If you have a dry and scaly skin, you can significantly benefit from alpha-arbutin’s topical use. It protects and nourishes the skin, giving you a smoother, youthful look.

4) Protects the skin against the free radical damage, induced by UV rays

Alpha-arbutin has properties, enabling it to maintain the balance of free radicals in the body. It tends to neutralize the free radicals and helps fight the early signs of aging, such as wrinkles and full lines.

5) Less irritating on the skin

Alpha arbutin releases its active component (hydroquinone) slowly into the skin, making it less irritating than the other skin-lightening ingredients.
