Arbutin Overview
Arbutin is a naturally derived skin-lightening active extracted from bearberry leaves and other botanical sources. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin production, making it effective in fading dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone. Arbutin is water-soluble, gentle on skin, and widely used in whitening creams, spot-fading serums, and brightening treatments.
