Arbutin (CAS 497-76-7) is a hydroquinone glycoside naturally occurring in bearberry, cranberry, and pear trees. We supply it as a white crystalline powder with ≥98% HPLC purity, produced via controlled extraction from plant sources, followed by crystallization to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Its role as a tyrosinase inhibitor makes it a staple in skin-lightening and brightening formulations, both in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.
With a molecular weight of 272.25 g/mol, this compound offers good water solubility, which simplifies formulation in aqueous-based systems. It is available in standard 1 kg, 5 kg, and 25 kg packaging, with custom sizes on request. Every batch is accompanied by a COA, MSDS, and TDS, and our team is ready to support your R&D or production needs.
Synonyms: p-Hydroxyphenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, 4-Hydroxyphenyl β-D-glucopyranoside, Arbutoside, Ursin, Hydroquinone β-D-glucopyranoside
Each batch is tested for assay (HPLC ≥98%), loss on drying (≤3.0%), and heavy metals (≤10 ppm). Full COA, MSDS, and TDS are provided per delivery, and stability data can be shared upon request for qualification purposes.
