Description
Alpha Arbutin (often just called Arbutin in skincare) has a fancy chemical name—4-Hydroxyphenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside—and a CAS number: 84380-01-8. It’s a white crystalline powder, with a molecular formula of C₁₂H₁₆O₇, molecular weight of 272.251, and melts at 195-196°C. While it’s related to β-Arbutin, alpha arbutin outperforms its counterpart: it stops melanin without being harsh, and even at low concentrations, it blocks tyrosinase (the enzyme that makes melanin) better than β-Arbutin. That’s why it’s a go-to for gentle brightening.

Nutritional Information
Quick note: Alpha arbutin is strictly a skincare ingredient—not something you eat. So it has no nutritional values (like calories or vitamins) for ingestion. Its real “plus” is how kind it is to skin: it barely messes with your skin barrier, rarely causing peeling or redness. That makes it safe for sensitive skin, plus fading melasma or acne marks.

Function
Cuts down on melanin: Reduces how much melanin your skin makes and deposits, fading dark spots and freckles—that’s the main reason people love alpha arbutin benefits.

Stops tyrosinase in its tracks (even at low doses): Works at lower concentrations than β-Arbutin, so you get brightening results without irritation.

Keeps your skin barrier intact: Maintains your skin’s natural defense, so you skip the dryness that usually comes with whitening ingredients.

Application
Skincare picks: You’ll spot it in serum with alpha arbutin, arbutin cream, and masks. The best alpha arbutin serum hones in on dullness or hyperpigmentation; arbutin cream is great for daily moisturizing.
Ingredient combos: Pair alpha arbutin and vitamin C—they work together to amp up brightening, perfect for stubborn dark spots.

Visible changes: Use it regularly, and you’ll see obvious alpha arbutin before and after results—faded acne marks, lighter melasma, and more even tone in 4-8 weeks.
