What Is The Benefit Of Arbutin?

Arbutin, also known as arbutin, is mainly derived from the leaves of bearberry. It is a naturally occurring glycoside substance derived from green plants.

It is white needle-shaped crystals or powders, easily soluble in hot water, methanol, ethanol, propylene glycol, and glycerol, and insoluble in solvents such as ether, chloroform, and petroleum ether.
