Alpha Arbutin Powder 99%
A High-Purity Ingredient for Targeted Hyperpigmentation Solutions
CA$10.00
Alpha Arbutin Powder (4-Hydroxyphenyl-±-D-glucopyranoside) is a premium, water-soluble, biosynthetic skin-brightening agent (99%) used to inhibit melanin synthesis and fade hyperpigmentation, acne marks, and sunspots. This white, crystalline powder is a more stable, effective, and safe alternative to Hydroquinone, providing even skin tone and anti-aging benefits - presumably due to the more gradual release. Alpha Arbutin also minimizes liver spots and meets all the requirements of a modern skin-brightening and skin-depigmentation product.
Key Features & Benefits
Aids in Reducing Hyperpigmentation: Works to inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin production, potentially helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks.
Active Brightening: Effectively reduces dark spots, sun burns, and freckles for a radiant complexion.
Superior Stability: More stable in cosmetic formulas compared to beta-arbutin, allowing for consistent performance.
Skin Safety: Often considered less irritating compared to some other skin brightening agents, making it suitable for inclusion in formulations for various skin types including sensitive skin, with lower risk of irritation.
