Alpha Arbutin CAS 84380-01-8 alpha-Arbutin

Alpha arbutin cas:84380-01-8, also known as alpha arbutin, is a chemical substance used in cosmetics as a whitening agent. Chinese alias: Alpha arbutin; 4-hydrobenzoquinone-alpha-D-glucopyranoside; Hydroquinone alpha D-glucoside; α - arbutin; 4-hydroxyphenyl - α - D-glucopyranoside; Alpha arbutin, similar to beta arbutin, can inhibit the production and deposition of melanin, and remove pigmentation and freckles. Research has shown that alpha arbutin can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase at relatively low concentrations, and its inhibitory effect on tyrosinase is superior to that of beta arbutin. Alpha arbutin can be used as a whitening agent in cosmetics. Arbutin is a hydroquinone glycoside compound with the chemical name 4-hydroxyphenyl-D-glucopyranoside. Alpha arbutin cas:84380-01-8 is found in plants such as bear fruit and cranberry, and is an emerging natural whitening active substance that is non irritating, non allergenic, and highly compatible. There are two structural and functional functional groups in the molecular structure of arbutin: one is glucose residue; The second is phenolic hydroxyl. The physical state of α - arbutin is white to light gray powder, which is relatively soluble in water and ethanol.
