What are the functional effects of a-Arbutin?
1. Whitening and depigmentation
Tyrosine is the raw material for the formation of melanin, and tyrosinase is the main rate limiting enzyme for the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. Its activity determines the amount of melanin formed. That is to say, the higher the activity and content of tyrosinase in the body, the easier it is to form melanin.
And arbutin can competitively and reversibly inhibit tyrosinase, thereby inhibiting the generation of melanin, achieving whitening, brightening, and freckle removal effects!
2. Sunscreen
α- Arbutin also has the ability to absorb ultraviolet rays. Researchers have added α- Special tests were conducted on arbutin's sunscreen products, and it was found that α- Arbutin exhibits UV absorption ability.
In addition, through numerous scientific research experiments, it has been verified that in terms of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, α- Arbutin has also shown certain therapeutic effects.
Using Add α- If the effect of arbutin in skincare products is not obvious, it must be a problem of insufficient concentration. α- The appropriate dosage of arbutin should be 3%. If the dosage is less than this, the inhibitory effect on the catalytic activity of tyrosinase in the skin will be weak, and the Whitening effect will not be significant.
