Alpha arbutin powder (99%)

Alpha arbutin is a highly purified and effective cosmetic ingredient widely used in skincare products designed to improve the appearance of even skin tone and radiance. It is a stable hydroquinone derivative linked to a glucose molecule, giving it high cosmetic efficacy with a good level of gentleness when used correctly.

Alpha arbutin works in cosmetic applications through a surface-regulating mechanism that modifies the appearance of pigmentation, helping to reduce apparent discoloration and give the skin a clearer, more even complexion. It exhibits better stability than conventional arbutin and is suitable for advanced formulations when the recommended pH and temperature ranges are followed.
