Description
β-Arbutin is a highly effective and safe skin – lightening cosmetic additive derived from natural bearberry plants or synthesized through biotechnology. As a glycosylated derivative of hydroquinone, it can selectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin synthesis, preventing the conversion of tyrosine to melanin without affecting normal cell metabolism. This mechanism enables it to gently and effectively reduce the appearance of dark spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone, gradually brightening the complexion. With strong antioxidant properties, β-Arbutin also protects skin cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, helping to maintain skin health and delay the signs of aging. Widely used in various skin – lightening creams, serums, toners, and masks, it is a popular choice for achieving a fairer and more radiant skin.
