Product Description
Our β-Arbutin Powder is a high-purity, cosmetic-grade active ingredient produced via controlled biosynthesis or plant extraction. It appears as a fine, white crystalline powder with a neutral odor and high water solubility. The β‑anomer configuration ensures superior skin depigmenting activity compared to α‑arbutin, while remaining non‑irritating and stable in formulation. With purity ≥99% (by HPLC) and compliance with international cosmetic standards (EC, CIR, IECIC), it is ideal for formulating serums, creams, toners, masks, and spot‑correcting products targeting melasma, freckles, post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and age spots. It is compatible with other actives such as niacinamide, vitamin C, and tranexamic acid, and works synergistically in broad‑spectrum brightening systems.

Nutritional Composition
β-arbutin is a popular natural functional ingredient widely used in skincare and cosmetic products. As its core component, pure beta-arbutin accounts for the main active substance, accompanied by small amounts of polyphenols and natural glycosides.
It is derived from plant extracts and features stable chemical properties and good water solubility. This ingredient also contains trace natural organic compounds that help maintain its activity. With mild characteristics, it is compatible with most cosmetic raw materials. Thanks to its unique component structure, beta-arbutin has become a classic brightening ingredient and is extensively applied in various skin care formulations worldwide.
Inhibits Melanin Synthesis via Tyrosinase Competition
β‑Arbutin competes with L‑tyrosine for binding at the active site of tyrosinase, reducing the conversion of tyrosine to DOPA and then to melanin, leading to visibly lighter skin and faded dark spots.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation & Evening Skin Tone
Clinically shown to diminish melasma, freckles, solar lentigo, and post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne scars, PIH) with regular use (≥ 4 weeks), resulting in a more uniform complexion.
Provides Safer Alternative to Hydroquinone
Unlike hydroquinone, β‑arbutin does not cause ochronosis (blue‑black pigmentation) or significant skin irritation. It is non‑cytotoxic to melanocytes at recommended use levels (0.5–2%) and is permitted in over‑the‑counter cosmetic products worldwide.
Exerts Mild Antioxidant & Soothing Effects
The glucosidic moiety contributes to mild free‑radical scavenging activity, helping to reduce oxidative stress in the skin while also offering a calming effect on UV‑induced inflammation.
