\u03b2-Arbutin (Beta-Arbutin) is a high-purity brightening ingredient (99.5%) manufactured by Kangcare Bioindustry Co., Ltd., China. It is a white crystalline powder that dissolves well in water. Chemically, it is a glucoside of hydroquinone linked to a glucose molecule via a \u03b2-glycosidic bond, which makes it significantly more stable and safer than regular hydroquinone.
It has a melting point of 199\u2013201\u00b0C and a pH range of 5.0\u20137.0, which is close to the natural pH of the skin. \u03b2-Arbutin works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the key enzyme responsible for melanin production, helping reduce dark spots, melasma, and freckles while promoting a brighter and more even skin tone.
It is ideal for those seeking luminous, clearer-looking skin and a more uniform complexion through an effective and safe brightening active.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u03b2-Arbutin stands out with its chemical structure as a glucoside of hydroquinone, where a glucose molecule is linked to hydroquinone through a \u03b2-glycosidic bond. This structure makes it more stable than \u03b1-arbutin and safer than regular hydroquinone, which is known to have cytotoxic effects on skin cells.
\u03b2-Arbutin has a high purity of 99.5% and a specific rotation of \u201364\u00b0 to \u201368\u00b0, which is characteristic of the true \u03b2-form structure. The product is highly stable, with moisture loss not exceeding 0.5%, and has a distinct melting point of 199\u2013201\u00b0C, confirming its purity and quality. Importantly, it contains very low levels of free hydroquinone, not more than 10 ppm, ensuring safety for cosmetic use.<\/p>\n

\u03b2-Arbutin dissolves well in water, making it easy to incorporate into various skincare formulations\u2014especially serums, creams, and lotions. It has a pH range of 5.0\u20137.0, which is skin-friendly and non-irritating. When properly sealed and stored in a dry place away from direct sunlight, it maintains a shelf life of 2 years.<\/p>\n

Mechanism of Action and Key Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Active Ingredient:<\/strong> \u03b2-Arbutin (Beta-Arbutin)<\/p>\n

Chemical Structure: \u03b2-Arbutin has the molecular formula C\u2081\u2082H\u2081\u2086O\u2087 and a molecular weight of 272.25. It is a glucoside of hydroquinone, consisting of one glucose molecule linked to hydroquinone through a \u03b2-glycosidic bond at the C-1 position of the glucose. This \u03b2-form structure is more stable than the \u03b1-form and has a specific rotation of \u201364\u00b0 to \u201368\u00b0, which is a characteristic parameter confirming the purity of \u03b2-Arbutin.<\/p>\n
