Remove Freckles from the Very Source

Alpha Arbutin Inhibit Melanin Generation from the Source

6 Steps of skin lightening

1. Prevention: Reduce UV absorption

2. Protection:Anti free radical and anti-inflammatory

3. Activation of melanin : Reduce the production and activity of melanocytes

4. The Formation Process of Melanin: Inhibiting the activity of enzymes that promote melanin production

5. Generated melanin: reducing generated melanin and fading brown melanin

6 Auxiliary steps: Promote cell metabolism and facilitate the smooth discharge of melanin from the skin surface.

Our Technological Advantages

BLiT Chemical Unique IME Technology

Modern chemical reactions are usually performed in high temperature, high pressure, extreme pH and organic solvents. While theenzymatic reactionof BLiT could be performed under normal conditions (natural temperature, normal pressure, neutral PH and water solution), which are compatible with body cells.Thus, the IME technology is efficient, safeand eco-friendly.

Our Technological Strengths for Alpha Arbutin(Traditional Fermentation VS Biological Enzyme)

Key Criteria of High Quality Alpha Arbutin

（1）Product contains HQ residue tends to oxidize and turn yellowish after exposing to the air

（2）High HQ residue will easily induce allergy

Hydroquinone residue directly affects the stability of a-Arbutin and its performance in formula,so BLiT chemical Alpha-Arbutin achieved 0 hydroquinone residue

Alpha-Arbutin 3rd Party Test Result:

1:Method: Conduct a 2% dosage lotion test on 35 volunteers,so as to compare the inhibitory efficacy of α-Arbutin and β-Arbutin on tyrosinase and B16 cell

2.Method: Place 0.020g~0.025g 5% α-Arbutin cream in small discs, use adhesive tape to fix them in place on the back of the volunteers. Patches are left in the place for 24 hours and then removed. Observe skin reactions 0.5hr, 24 hr and 48hr after the removal of patches.

Result:

None of the volunteers showed skin reactions during the test, it indicates that BliT chemical’s Alpha-Arbutin did not produce skin irritation according to <Hygienic Standard for Cosmetics>(2007) issued by CSCC.

Fine Performance Assurance

Method: Cold-resistant (-5oC), hot-resistant (40oC) and long-term storage (1 year) stability tests were performed respectively with α-Arbutin end products such as cream,lotion and cleanser, etc.

The heat and cold resistance performance of α-Arbutin end products is stable, which can meet the stability needs during storage and use, without physical and chemical changes such as oil leakage, water precipitation, coarse particles, demulsification, discoloration, etc.
