Alpha Arbutin Extract
An extract derived from several plants that helps directly inhibit the melanin production process through the mechanism of inhibiting the oxidation reaction of the tyrosinase enzyme. It has also been confirmed to be a highly effective and safe extract that can be used continuously over the long term without side effects. Alpha Arbutin is therefore highly popular in skincare products designed to improve skin brightness.
