The Brightening Ingredient Transforming Skincare
What Is Alpha-Arbutin?
Alpha Arbutin is a biosynthetic active derived from hydroquinone and often sourced from bearberry plants. It inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme behind melanin production, making it one of the safest and most effective brightening agents in modern cosmetics. Compared to regular arbutin, alpha arbutin is more stable and potent, delivering faster and more visible results.
