Melanin formation path: Tyrosinase in the basal layer will catalyze tyrosine to produce dopa. Dopa is oxidized by tyrosinase and other enzymes to produce dopaquinone, and finally dopaquinone is transformed and moved to the skin surface After that, it becomes melanin.
The whitening mechanism of arbutin is to inhibit tyrosinase activity and solve the formation of melanin from the source. Compared with other mechanisms that inhibit oxidation, inhibit transport, or accelerate melanin metabolism, it is more thorough and effective.
Arbutin is a natural active substance and does not cause side effects such as toxicity, irritation, and sensitization to melanocytes. Arbutin has a good synergistic effect with nicotinamide, ascorbyl glucoside (AA2G), tranexamic acid derivatives and esculentol, and has excellent whitening, brightening and spot removal effects.
Arbutin can be divided into α and β according to different structures. α-Arbutin is about ten times stronger than β-arbutin in inhibiting tyrosinase, and the whitening effect is more than 15 times stronger.
