What Is Alpha Arbutin?
Alpha-Arbutin (CAS 84380-01-8) is a high-efficiency cosmetic brightening active ingredient and tyrosinase inhibitor widely used in skincare formulations. It helps reduce melanin formation, fade dark spots and post-acne pigmentation, and improve dull skin tone. Compared with beta arbutin, alpha arbutin delivers stronger brightening performance at lower dosage (1-2%) with milder skin irritation. As a reliable China bulk manufacturer and wholesale supplier, Aogubio provides 99% alpha arbutin powder for cosmetic manufacturers worldwide, supporting serum, cream, mask and lotion formulation with free samples, full COA/MSDS documents and global door-to-door shipping.

How Alpha Arbutin Works On Melanin Inhibition
Alpha arbutin achieves skin brightening effect through competitive inhibition on tyrosinase. It occupies substrate binding sites of tyrosinase enzyme, blocks melanin biosynthesis pathway without killing melanocytes. It works well for improving dark spots, post‑acne marks and uneven skin tone. Alpha arbutin shows good stability within pH 4‑8, and it is non‑photosensitive, suitable for both day‑time and night‑time skincare products.
