Alpha arbutin successfully inhibits melanin synthesis, making it effective and safe for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. It protects the skin from sun-induced pigmentation and free radicals without increasing the skin's sensitivity to sun exposure. In fact, it can prevent freckles and hyperpigmentation after a sunburn in the future by blocking the extra production of melanin. In other words, less melanin equals less pigment. This results in reduced dark spots and an even skin tone. However, further studies are needed to understand this mechanism. Alpha Arbutin produced by Insen Biotech is white crystalline powder, which is soluble in water and can be added to other formulations to enhance its Skin Whitening effect as Cosmetic Raw Material.
