As a professional raw material manufacturer with an annual production capacity of 4,000 tons for amino acid and skincare ingredient series, Huarong Pharmaceutical adopts green bio-fermentation + enzyme-catalyzed synthesis technology and operates in GMP-compliant clean workshops. We realize large-scale and standardized production of high-purity α-arbutin, with strict quality control throughout the entire process from strain screening to finished product delivery. Our products have passed multiple authoritative tests including heavy metal detection, microbial limit test and skin irritation test, ensuring stable quality and reliable safety for global customers.
Highly Effective Whitening with Mildness & SafetyAs a targeted tyrosinase inhibitor, α-arbutin blocks the melanin synthesis pathway at the source without damaging skin cells. Its whitening efficiency is 10 times higher than that of β-arbutin, and it has no cytotoxicity compared with traditional whitening ingredients such as hydroquinone. It is suitable for sensitive skin and pregnant women, and long-term use will not cause skin redness or peeling.
Excellent Stability & Strong Formulation CompatibilityWith good light and heat resistance, α-arbutin remains stable in a pH range of 4.0-8.0 without decomposing or discoloring easily. It can be compounded with mainstream skincare ingredients such as niacinamide, vitamin C, ceramides and copper peptides to achieve synergistic effects, and is widely applicable to the formulation of various whitening products including serums, creams and facial masks.
Multi-functional Skincare BenefitsIn addition to whitening and spot-lightening, α-arbutin also has moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. It can increase the water content of the stratum corneum, soothe skin redness and burning caused by UV radiation, and effectively improve sun spots, freckles, chloasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Independent R&D & Customization ServiceOur professional enzyme engineering R&D team has broken through the bottleneck of traditional chemical synthesis processes, realizing green production with no organic solvent residues. We can customize products of different purities and dosage forms (including 10%-50% aqueous solutions) according to customer needs, and provide technical support for formulation application to solve stability problems during compounding.
Sufficient Stock & Efficient DeliveryWe keep a large inventory of 99% cosmetic-grade α-arbutin powder all year round. Gram-level samples can be shipped on the same day, and ton-level bulk orders can be arranged for logistics within 72 hours. We support sea freight, air freight and other international transportation methods, and provide moisture-proof and light-proof packaging solutions to ensure product quality during long-distance transportation.
Complete Qualifications & Quality TraceabilityEvery batch of α-arbutin undergoes three rounds of strict inspections: raw material testing, in-process control and finished product sampling. Heavy metal content is less than 5ppm, and total microbial count is ≤100CFU/g. We provide complete Certificates of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and export qualification documents to ensure smooth customs clearance for foreign trade orders.
Recommended Dosage: The optimal addition amount in cosmetics is 0.5%-3%. Excessive addition will not enhance the whitening effect but may increase skin burden. For best results, use with sunscreen products.
Storage Conditions: Seal and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid high temperature and humidity environments; shelf life can reach 24 months under proper storage conditions.
