Bearberry Leaf Extract
Bearberry is a plant of the genus Ursaceae in the Rhododendron family, mainly distributed in Northern Europe, Western Europe, and Canada in North America.
Bearberry leaf extract contains arbutin, ursolic acid, etc. Arbutin has a remarkable whitening effect. It can quickly penetrate into the skin. Without affecting the proliferation concentration of skin cells, it can effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the skin to block the formation of melanin. The combination of amidase accelerates the decomposition and excretion of melanin, thereby reducing skin pigmentation and removing pigmentation and freckles.
However, arbutin does not produce side effects such as toxicity, irritation, and sensitization to melanocytes, but also has the effects of emollient, guaiac, bactericidal and synergistic anti-inflammatory. Arbutin is one of the most popular whitening raw materials abroad.
In recent years, many countries in the world have applied arbutin to cosmetics to achieve a whitening effect. Bearberry extract - arbutin also has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antitussive, antioxidant, and other effects, and is very popular.
