Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects

Bearberry leaves have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, and are traditionally used to treat urinary tract infections, among which arbutin is its main medicinal ingredient.

Antitussive, expectorant, and asthma

Gavage of arbutin can increase animal tracheal secretion, prolong the incubation period of cough induced by ammonia, reduce the number of coughs, and significantly increase tracheal phenol red excretion.

Whitening and depigmentation

Arbutin can quickly penetrate into the skin, without affecting the concentration of cell proliferation, it can effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the skin and block the production of melanin. It directly binds to tyrosinase by itself, competes for the binding site of dopa, accelerates the decomposition and excretion of melanin, thereby reducing skin pigmentation.

The side effect of arbutin is that it needs to be protected from light. In the case of improper use, it will not only inhibit melanin, but also cause the precipitation of melanin.

Arbutin is one of the main components of the Rhododendron family. Today, it is produced through chemical synthesis. It is often used as a functional brightener in cosmetics. Arbutin, also known as arbutin, is white needle-like crystals or powder. The leaves extracted from the bearberry can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the body and prevent the production of melanin, thereby reducing skin pigmentation, removing stains and freckles, and at the same time have the effect of sterilization and anti-inflammatory. Mainly used in the preparation of high-end cosmetics.

★Arbutin is easy to decompose in an acidic environment, pay attention to the pH control of creams and emulsions at 5-7;

★Add a proper amount of antioxidants to the cosmetic system to prevent discoloration

★Adding natural vegetable oils containing oleic acid and linoleic acid can promote the synergistic effect of arbutin;
★Adding 0.8-1.0% of azone in the cosmetic system can promote the absorption of arbutin and prevent the precipitation of arbutin on the skin.
