Description
Alpha-Arbutin is the active substance originated from natural plant which can whiten and lighten skin. Alpha-Arbutin can infiltrate into the skin quickly without affecting the concentration of cell multiplication and effectively prevent activity of tyrosinase in the skin and the forming of melanin. By combined arbutin with tyrosinase, decomposition and drainage of melanin are accelerated, splash and fleck can be got ride of and no side effects are caused. Clinical practice shows that Alpha-Arbutin has much more powerful Whitening ability if compare with Beta- Arbutin ,it’s neerly 15 times of Whitening ability stronger than Beta-Arbutin 

Main Function
1. Skin lighten,Whiten and dispell fleck, 
2. Prevent ultraviolet radiation.
3. Enhance immune system.
4. It is good for our enteric disease.
5. It can be used as the antiphlogistic & analgesic function agents for burn repairing agent /scar removing agent in cosmetics and medical application field 

Application
In-Cosmetic Industry:
Alpha-Arbutin protects the skin against damage caused by free radicals. Alpha-Arbutin is a skin whitening agent which is very popular in Japan and other Asian countries for skin de-pigmentation, Arbutin inhibits the formation of melanin pigment by inhibiting Tyrosinase activity. Arbutin is very safe skin agent for external use which does not have toxicity, stimulation, unpleasant odor or side effect such as Hydroqinone.The encapsulation of Arbutin constitute a delivery system to potentialize the effect in time. Arbutin is a way to incorporate the hydrophilic Arbutin in lipophilic media. Arbutin give three main properties; Whitening effects, anti- age effect and UVB/ UVC filter .

In-Medical Industry:
Back in the 18th century, Alpha Arbutin was first used in medical areas as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent. Alpha Arbutin was used particularly for cystitis, urethritis and pyelitis. These uses still until today where natural medicine uses only natural ingredients to treat any disease. Also Alpha Arbutin may be used to repress the virulence of bacterial pathogens and to prevent contaminating bacteria, Alpha Arbutin is also used for treating allergic inflammation of the skin . More recently, Alpha Arbutin has been used to prevent pigmentation and to whiten the skin beautifully. In the meanwhile, Alpha Arbutin can be used to whiten the skin, to prevent liver spots and freckles, to treat sunburn marks and to regulate melanogenesis.
