●Why Does The Human Body Produce Melanin?
Sun exposure is the main cause of melanin production. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight damage deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, in cells. Damaged DNA can lead to damage and dislocation of genetic information, and even cause malignant gene mutations, or the loss of tumor suppressor genes, leading to the occurrence of tumors.
However, sun exposure is not so "terrible", and this is all "credit" to melanin. In fact, at critical moments, melanin will be released, effectively absorbing the energy of ultraviolet rays, preventing DNA from being damaged, thereby reducing the damage caused by ultraviolet rays to the human body. Although melanin protects the human body from ultraviolet damage, it can also make our skin darker and develop spots. Therefore, blocking the production of melanin is an important means of skin whitening in the beauty industry.
●What Is Arbutin?
Arbutin, also known as arbutin, has a chemical formula of C12H16O7. It is an ingredient extracted from the leaves of the Ericaceae plant bearberry. It can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the body and prevent the production of melanin, thereby reducing skin pigmentation, removing spots and freckles. It also has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects and is mainly used in cosmetics.
Arbutin can be divided into α-type and β-type according to different structures. The biggest difference between the two in physical properties is the optical rotation: α-arbutin is about 180 degrees, while β-arbutin is about -60. They both have the effect of inhibiting tyrosinase to achieve whitening. The most widely used is β-type, which is cheap. However, according to research, adding α-type equivalent to 1/9 of the concentration of β-type can inhibit the production of tyrosinase and achieve whitening. Many skin care products with added α-arbutin have a whitening effect ten times higher than traditional arbutin.
●What Are The Benefits Of Arbutin?
Arbutin is mainly extracted from the leaves of bearberry. It can also be found in some fruits and other plants. It has the effect of brightening the skin. It can quickly penetrate the skin without affecting skin cells. It combines with tyrosine, which causes the production of melanin, and can effectively block the activity of tyrosinase and the production of melanin, accelerating the decomposition and elimination of melanin. In addition, arbutin can protect the skin from free radicals and has good hydrophilicity. Therefore, it is often added to whitening products on the market, especially in Asian countries.
Arbutin is a natural active substance derived from green plants. It is a skin decolorizing component that combines "green plants, safe and reliable" and "efficient decolorization". It can quickly penetrate into the skin. Without affecting the cell proliferation concentration, it can effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the skin and block the formation of melanin. By directly combining with tyrosinase, it accelerates the decomposition and excretion of melanin, thereby reducing skin pigmentation, removing spots and freckles, and has no toxic, irritating, sensitizing and other side effects on melanocytes. It also has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. It is the safest and most effective whitening raw material popular today, and it is also an ideal skin whitening and freckle active agent in the 21st century.
●What Is The Main Use Of Arbutin?
It can be used in high-end cosmetics and can be made into skin care cream, freckle cream, high-end pearl cream, etc. It can not only beautify and protect the skin, but also be anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant.
Raw materials for burn and scald medicine: Arbutin is the main ingredient of new burn and scald medicine, which is characterized by rapid pain relief, strong anti-inflammatory effect, rapid elimination of redness and swelling, fast healing, and no scars.
Dosage form: spray or apply.
Raw materials for intestinal anti-inflammatory medicine: good bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, no toxic side effects.
