Other name: Arbutoside Hydroquinone β-D-glucopyranoside
Derived from the leaves of the Bearberry, beta-arbutin is a glycosylated hydroquinone renowned for its cosmetic benefits in skin lightening and whitening. Not only does it excel in these properties, but it also functions as an impressive antioxidant, effectively neutralizing reactive oxygen species and other free radicals. This, in turn, shields the skin from oxidative stress. Remarkably stable when exposed to sunlight, beta-arbutin proves to be a versatile and valuable ingredient for skincare.
Medicinal Uses:
- Reduces dark patches or spots
- Smoothens the skin tone
- Moisturises the skin to a satisfactory extent
- Protects the skin against the free radical damage, induced by UV rays
- Less irritating on the skin
