Deoxyarbutin (Tetrahydropyranyloxy Phenol)
Deoxyarbutin is a next-generation skin-brightening ingredient derived from β-arbutin. By modifying the glucose side chain, it delivers powerful lightening and antioxidant effects with far less cytotoxicity than hydroquinone, making it a safer and more effective alternative.
✨ Key Benefits:
- Potent tyrosinase inhibitor for rapid and long-lasting skin-brightening
- Reduces dark spots and evens out skin tone
- Strong antioxidant protection against free radicals
- Effective at low concentrations (0.1–2%)
Formulation Notes:
- Works best at pH 5.0–5.8 for maximum stability
- Stable in neutral to slightly basic systems (pH 7–8)
- Add to oil phase below 60°C
- Use with antioxidants for improved stability
- Ideal for anhydrous or light-protected formulations.
