Why ALPHA-ARBUTIN?


ALPHA-ARBUTIN from DSM is a biosynthetic glycoside with excellent skin lightening properties for a perfect even skin tone.  It is able to effectively inhibit melanin synthesis by inhibition of tyrosinase. In-vitro tests confirm that this effect is achievable even at very at low concentrations.
The in-vitro studies have been supplemented with extensive in-vivo testing to support the following claims / benefits:

Ensures an even, lighter skin tone
Helps to minimize the appearance of liver spots
Reduces the degree of skin tanning after UV exposure

ALPHA-ARBUTIN showed superior performance (in-vivo) to traditional lightening agents such as kojic acid and hydroquinone, is recommended for up to 2% use level and is ideal for skin lightening products, even skin tone and age spot treatments and also make-up such as BB/CC creams.
Works well with Niacinamide by boosting effectivness for brighter healthier skin.
