Alpha Arbutin is a biosynthetic active ingredient derived from hydroquinone and glucose. It is widely used in cosmetic and skincare formulations for its skin-brightening and spot-reducing properties. Alpha Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, thereby helping to reduce pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. It is more stable and effective than its beta counterpart and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
