• Sold exclusively by HIGH ALTITUDE ESSENTIALS TM Alpha-Arbutin is a biosynthetic active ingredient that is pure, water-soluble and is manufactured in a powder form.
• As one of the most advanced skin lightening ingredients on the market, it has been shown to work effectively on all skin types.
• It is the epimer of arbutin, and research has proven that it has a stronger inhibitory action than that of arbutin. Though it is a very expensive ingredient to manufacture, even at very low concentrations, a-arbutin has shown to inhibit the activity of tyrosinase. Alpha Arbutin's inhibitory mechanism is different from that of arbutin and can be up to 10 times more effective.
• The a-glucosidic bond found in alpha Arbutin offers higher stability and efficancy than the B form found in the related Beta-Arbutin. This leads to a skin whitening active that acts faster and more efficiently than existing single components.
• Recommended Usage Rate: 0.2 - 2 .
