Arbutin Powder, also known as Arbutoside, is a natural active ingredient extracted from the leaves of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi of the Ericaceae family. It appears as white crystals or powder, is readily soluble in polar solvents such as water, ethanol and propylene glycol, and features stable properties and strong compatibility. It inhibits tyrosinase activity, blocks melanin production at the source, and reduces pigment deposition, thereby brightening skin tone and fading dark spots and freckles. Meanwhile, it possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, is mild and non-irritating to the skin without damaging melanocytes, making it a safe and highly effective whitening raw material widely recognized in the global cosmetics industry.
Whether you're developing a whitening serum, a brightening cream, or a skin-tone-evening face mask, our offers a reliable and efficient solution for your formulation needs.

Features of Arbutin Powder
Natural Plant Extract, Gentle & Safe
Extracted from natural plants such as bearberry leaves, this ingredient is mild and skin-friendly. While delivering outstanding brightening effects, it ensures high skin tolerance, making it suitable for various skin types seeking safe and efficient skincare.
Deep Brightening, Targeted Spot Fading
Its core mechanism lies in effectively inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase in the skin - a key catalyst for melanin synthesis. Arbutin reduces excessive melanin production at the source, helping fade existing dark spots and freckles, preventing potential discoloration, and achieving an even, clear, and radiant complexion.
Multi-Effect Care, Soothing & Stabilizing
In addition to its excellent brightening properties, arbutin also provides antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping soothe the skin and maintain a healthy and stable environment. It is especially ideal for blemish-prone skin in need of gentle conditioning.
