Wide application: Alpha arbutin powder can be used as a component of health care products, cosmetics, food and other fields, with wide application value.
Good stability: high-purity alpha arbutin powder usually has good stability and can maintain its activity and efficacy for a long time.
Application of 99% Alpha Arbutin Powder in Cosmetics
Anti-aging: Alpha arbutin has a strong antioxidant effect, which can neutralize free radicals and slow down skin aging, so it is often added in anti-aging skin care products. It helps to reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and make skin look younger.
Moisturizing: Alpha arbutin can enhance the moisturizing ability of skin, promote the moisture retention of skin cells, and keep skin soft and smooth. Therefore, it is often used in skin care products such as moisturizing cream and facial mask.
Whitening: Alpha arbutin also has a certain whitening effect, which can inhibit the production of melanin, reduce pigmentation and even skin tone. Therefore, it can often be seen in whitening skin care products.
Anti-inflammatory and sedative: Because of its anti-inflammatory effect, alpha arbutin can be used to relieve sensitive and inflamed skin and relieve discomfort caused by external stimuli.
Protect the skin from environmental damage: Alpha arbutin can not only fight free radicals, but also reduce the damage of environmental pollution to the skin, so it is also used in protective skin care products.
Comparison of α-Arbutin and β-Arbutin in Whitening and Safety
Arbutin has two types of epimers, that is, α type and β type, and the whitening effect and safety of the two are also different. Studies have shown that α-arbutin has a better inhibitory effect on melanin than β-arbutin, which is about ten times stronger than it, so this product is an active whitening additive in advanced cosmetics.
Experiments have shown that β-arbutin can cause damage to the cell membrane of cultured cells. Additionally, the amount of β-arbutin is closely related to its safety. Therefore, as an additive in cosmetics, its dosage is about 3%, and less than this amount. The inhibitory effect of tyrosinase activity in the skin is relatively weak at the dose, and the whitening effect on the skin is not particularly obvious. If it is more significant than this content, it will have noticeable changes in the activity of inhibiting tyrosinase, but it will also produce specific cytotoxicity to the body cells. In this way, α-arbutin will not affect the growth of cells at higher concentrations, so its whitening effectiveness and safety are also higher than that of β-arbutin.

Dosage of pure alpha arbutin powder
According to the provisions of the "Hygienic Standards for Cosmetics," most of the products are only allowed to be used in such products as hair dye and artificial nails. They are restricted substances in cosmetics and skin care products. Generally, it is necessary to have an apparent whitening effect in cosmetics, and the dosage of arbutin should be about 3%, but if it is lower than this value, the impact of arbutin on inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase in the skin is not It is pronounced. Since hydroquinone is the initial raw material for synthesizing arbutin, there will be residual hydroquinone after the synthesis reaction. Therefore, if the dosage of arbutin is more than 3%, it will cause damage to the skin by hydroquinone.Alpha-arbutin and beta-arbutin have similar effects; both can inhibit the production of melanin and pigmentation and can effectively remove pigmentation and freckles. At the same time, experiments show that natural α-arbutin powder can also inhibit tyrosinase activity at a lower concentration, and its inhibitory effect on tyrosinase is better than that of β-arbutin in this respect.
