Ingredients Details

Alpha-arbutin

Common Name(s): 4-hydroxyphenyl-alpha-d-glucopyranoside

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides potent tyrosinase inhibition with improved stability and tolerability over other arbutin forms.

Why It's Used: Premium arbutin โ€” alpha configuration provides 10ร— greater tyrosinase inhibition than beta-arbutin at equivalent concentration, making alpha-arbutin the most effective arbutin form.

How It Works: Alpha-glucoside linkage provides enhanced metabolic stability vs beta-arbutin (less enzymatic hydrolysis to free hydroquinone in skin). inhibits tyrosinase via competitive substrate inhibition (ic50 ~24ฮผg/ml vs beta-arbutin ~525ฮผg/ml โ€” 20ร— more potent). inhibits dopa oxidase step in melanogenesis.

Typically Found In: Brightening serums,anti-spot products,premium lightening

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Alpha-arbutin's 10โ€“20ร— greater potency vs beta-arbutin at equivalent concentration arises from the alpha-glycosidic bond geometry โ€” the alpha configuration positions the hydroquinone aglycone at a specific orientation relative to the glucose that fits the tyrosinase active site copper more precisely than the beta isomer's different spatial arrangement.
