The efficacy and function of arbutin

Arbutin is a synthetic product of various herbs. It can be made by crushing bearberry leaves and adding the required ingredients. Arbutin is great news for beauty-conscious female friends, because it can whiten the skin and brighten the complexion very well. This is because the ingredients contained in it can effectively resist ultraviolet rays and have a sun protection effect. You can try it if you need it.

1. Production method

1. It exists in many plants, such as the whole herb of Saxifrifra stolonifiera (L.) Meerb. of the Saxifragaceae family and the leaves of Vaccinicum vitis-idaea L. of the Ericaceae family. It can also be chemically synthesized.

2. Crush the bearberry leaves, rinse them, add water and boil them, extract them twice, combine the water extracts and concentrate them under reduced pressure to a syrupy state, then add methanol to dissolve them, filter out the methanol insoluble matter, and recover the methanol under reduced pressure to obtain the crude arbutin. If decolorized, filtered and recrystallized with activated carbon in water, pure arbutin can be obtained.

2. Efficacy and Function

Before introducing arbutin, let me first introduce a substance: hydroquinone. It can interfere with the formation of melanin to achieve a whitening effect, but because it is irritating, it can cause irritant dermatitis and pigmentation, and is listed as a banned cosmetic in many countries. Arbutin introduces a glucose molecule into the molecule to reduce stimulation. It has the ability to interfere with melanocytes and dilute the melanin that has been formed. It has good sun protection ability and strong spot-lightening effect. It is used to treat chloasma, freckles and other pigments with good therapeutic effects. The limit for use in skin care products is 7%.

Arbutin is mainly extracted from the leaves of bearberry. It can also be found in some fruits and other plants. It has the effect of brightening the skin. It can quickly penetrate the skin without affecting skin cells. It combines with tyrosine that causes the production of melanin. It can effectively block the activity of tyrosinase and the production of melanin, and accelerate the decomposition and elimination of melanin. In addition, arbutin can protect the skin from free radicals and has good hydrophilicity, so it is often added to whitening products on the market, especially in Asian countries.

Arbutin is a natural active substance derived from green plants. It is a skin depigmenting component that combines "green plants, safe and reliable" and "efficient depigmentation" in one. It can quickly penetrate into the skin, and while not affecting the cell proliferation concentration, it can effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the skin and block the formation of melanin. By directly combining with tyrosinase, it accelerates the decomposition and excretion of melanin, thereby reducing skin pigmentation, removing spots and freckles, and has no side effects such as toxicity, irritation, and allergy to melanocytes. It also has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. It is the safest and most effective whitening raw material popular today, and is also the ideal skin whitening and freckle removal active agent in the 21st century.

Main uses: Used in high-end cosmetics, it can be made into skin care cream, freckle cream, high-end pearl cream, etc. It can not only beautify the skin, but also reduce inflammation and resist irritation.

Raw materials for burn and scald medicine: Arbutin is the main ingredient of a new type of burn and scald medicine, which is characterized by rapid pain relief, strong anti-inflammatory effect, rapid elimination of redness and swelling, fast healing, and no scars.

Dosage form: spray or apply.

Raw materials for intestinal anti-inflammatory drugs: good bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, no toxic side effects.

In fact, the main effect of arbutin is skin lightening, which makes the skin look youthful and beautiful. European and American countries use arbutin to take advantage of this function. As more and more patents for use expire, arbutin, which was previously only used in high-end cosmetics, is becoming more and more popular.
