Alpha - arbutin, chemically known as 4 - hydroxyphenyl - α - D - glucopyranoside, is a natural organic plant compound. It is commonly extracted from plants of the genus Arctostaphylos and is also found in trace amounts in grapes, apples, and some herbs. It appears as a white to light gray powder or white needle - like crystals. It is readily soluble in water and ethanol, and also soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and DMSO. It has a melting point of 203℃ - 207±1℃ and exhibits good stability in aqueous and oily matrices, being less affected by light, heat, and pH value. However, it is prone to decomposition in an acidic environment.
Alpha - arbutin can inhibit the production and deposition of melanin, remove spots and freckles, and also has antibacterial and anti - inflammatory effects. Due to its excellent whitening effect and relatively high safety, it is widely used in the fields of cosmetics, health products, and drug research and development. Cosmetics is the largest downstream application field, accounting for more than 90% of the global market share.
From the perspective of market application trends, with the rise of the appearance economy and the increasing preference of consumers for natural organic - ingredient cosmetics, the market demand for alpha - arbutin is growing.
