Alpha Arbutin is a high-purity, synthesised skin-brightening active with an assay of 99.0% minimum. It is a glycosylated hydroquinone derivative that acts as a potent inhibitor of tyrosinase — the key enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis in the skin. Unlike beta-arbutin or direct hydroquinone, Alpha Arbutin is significantly more stable, more potent, and safer for topical and internal formulation use.
Alpha Arbutin is a cornerstone ingredient in the global skin brightening and hyperpigmentation treatment market, widely incorporated into both cosmeceutical topical products and ingestible beauty supplement formulations targeting a brighter, more even skin tone.
Applications:
- Cosmeceuticals (skin brightening serums, whitening creams, spot correction formulations)
- Beauty Supplements (oral skin brightening capsules, beauty drinks, ingestible whitening blends)
- Personal Care (brightening toners, face masks, sunscreen formulations)
- Nutraceuticals (skin health supplement blends combining Alpha Arbutin with Vitamin C and glutathione)

- 99.0% minimum assay – pharmaceutical grade purity
- Potent tyrosinase inhibitor for effective skin brightening
