Pure Alpha Arbutin Powder (CAS 84380-01-8) is a high-efficiency skin-whitening agent synthesized via enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis of beta-arbutin. Its molecular formula is C12H16O7. This compound acts as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor, significantly reducing melanin synthesis without cytotoxicity.
Storage requires sealed containers in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent degradation. While generally safe for topical use, it is not approved for systemic administration. Avoid direct contact with eyes; wear protective gloves during industrial handling.
