GI Alpha Arbutin

Alpha Arbutin is a brightening active derived from bearberry and other plants. It blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme that drives melanin production. By lowering melanin, it fades dark spots, sun spots, and uneven tone. This gentle ingredient suits all skin types, even sensitive skin. Formulators often add Alpha Arbutin to serums, moisturizers, and brightening treatments to promote a clear, even complexion without irritation.
