Enzyme Technology

AC-α-Arbutin is a potent skin-whitening ingredient synthesized via specialized enzyme-driven biotechnology; its glucose units are linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, resulting in stability that is significantly superior to that of the β-configuration. This enzymatic engineering process offers high specificity, no side reactions, and an environmentally friendly production profile. 

As a highly pure active ingredient with content over 99%, AC-α-Arbutin is also free from hydroquinone. It dissolves quickly in water, is rapidly absorbed into skin, and selectively inhibits tyrosinase activity. With high light stability, good compatibility, and suitability for all skin types, it is widely used in advanced skin lightening products, sun care products, anti-aging products, and BB/CC creams.

EFFICACIES

1.Whitening and brightening skin
① Rapidly absorbed into skin and selectively inhibits tyrosinase activity, the rate-limiting enzyme in melanogenesis, helping reduce excess pigment formation and support a more even-looking skin tone.
② With purity over 99% and quick water solubility, AC-α-Arbutin supports stable incorporation into brightening formulations, helping improve formula consistency across serums, creams, and BB/CC applications.


2.Photoprotection
Ingredient-level research reported that α-arbutin reduced UV-induced erythema and wrinkle scores in mice, with statistically significant differences versus the UV model group (p < 0.01).
