Alpha-Arbutin Overview
Alpha-Arbutin is a biosynthetic, water-soluble skin brightening agent derived from hydroquinone. It is widely used in cosmetic formulations to reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and discoloration by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. Compared with beta-arbutin, alpha-arbutin has higher stability and better efficacy, making it ideal for advanced whitening and anti-spot treatments.
