Alpha-arbutin (4-hydroxyphenyl-D-lucopyranoside) is a synthetic and functional active ingredient for lightening dark spots on the skin.
Alpha Arbutin is derived from the bearberry plant, and unlike hydroquinone, it has no negative side effects on the skin.
Applied topically, it is known to inhibit tyrosinase activity and prevent melanin formation. Compared to Beta Arbutin, Alpha Arbutin is more stable.
