The role of Arbutin in whitening and skincare and the craftsmanship of Chinese manufacturers

Deoxyarbutin, as a new generation of cosmetic brightening and whitening active agent, is mainly used in advanced whitening cosmetics.

Arbutin is one of the derivatives of arbutin, called D-arbutin, which can effectively inhibit the action of tyrosinase in skin tissue. According to research, its efficacy is even 10 times that of hydroquinone and 350 times that of general arbutin. In animal skin testing, this D-Arbutin can quickly and effectively whiten the skin, and the effect can still be maintained for nearly 8 weeks after discontinuation of use.

In clinical studies on the human body, local use of D-Arbutin for 12 weeks can achieve significant skin lightening effects, and has a good improvement effect on daily light exposure spots and dull skin tone conditions.

The production process of Chinese manufacturer arbutin:

Raw material preparation: Arbutin is a component extracted from the leaves of Rhododendron plants in the family Ericaceae. Firstly, it is necessary to collect fresh bear fruit leaves and conduct preliminary cleaning and processing.
Extraction: Crush the cleaned bear fruit leaves and then extract them using an appropriate solvent. Common solvents include ethanol, methanol, etc. Through the extraction process, arbutin can be extracted from plant materials.
Purification: The extracted extract usually contains multiple components and requires further purification steps to extract pure arbutin. Common purification methods include column chromatography, crystallization, etc.
Crystallization: Concentrate the purified arbutin solution and obtain arbutin crystals by cooling crystallization. This step helps to further improve the purity of the product.
