β-Arbutin Introduction
Beta Arbutin, also known as 4-Hydroxyphenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, is mainly used to bind to tyrosinase of melanocytes in the skin and inhibit tyrosinase activity. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme for skin melanocytes to synthesize melanin. If its function is inhibited, it cannot produce melanin. The reduction of melanin in the skin has the effect of whitening and light spots, so Arbutin is mainly used in skin whiten and remove black skin spots.
