Kebelakangan ini iols slalu terlihat di sosmed produk kosmetik buatan tempatan yang ditulis mengandungi Arbutin. Dalam sudut pengiklanan, produk-produk ini telah diclaim sebagai selamat, lulus KKM dan natural/organik?? Ini semua secara kebtulan sahaja sebab iols tgh search-search produk tempatan yg selamat untuk digunakan. Ada terlihat beberapa produk yg mendapat sambutan ramai, byk testimoni berjaya, murah (less than RM100) -mmpu milik bagi pelajar dan gadis2  . Apakah itu Arbutin? Iols google ada beberapa pendapat menyatakan ingredient tersebut selamat dan ada statement lain pula kesannya/risiko yg sama seperti Hydroquinone.
Ini hasil carian google mengenai Arbuthin.
What Is Alpha-Arbutin?The primary source for Alpha-Arbutin is a small evergreen bush called the Bearberry, and it is derived from the leaves of this bush. Bearberry grows over most of the Northern hemisphere and is found in the continental United States as far south as Wisconsin and New Jersey.  Arbutin is derived from the leaves of bearberry because of it’s melanin-inhibiting properties. Arbutin and other plant extracts are considered safe alternatives to commonly used pigment reducing agents to make the skin fairer.
The Effect Of Alpha-ArbutinAlpha-Arbutin is a biosynthetic active ingredient that is pure, water-soluble and is manufactured in a powder form. As one of the most advanced skin lightening ingredients on the market, it has been shown to work effectively on all skin types. It works primarily by inhibiting melanin and it has been shown to work effectively on all the different skin colors. Pure forms of arbutin are considered to be potent skin lightening agents. Alpha arbutin is a glucoside and potion makers like it because it is water soluble and stable. But more importantly, it seems to work. A one-month study on 80 Chinese women, using a 1% alpha arbutin concentration, resulted in a “skin lightening effect”. It was faster and more effective than kojic acid (another commonly used skin lightener) and was every bit as effective as hydroquinone. This is particularly good news because hydroquinone which is one of the most used and popular lighteners around is now considered carcinogenic. It has been banned from over the counter sale in Europe and Japan, but is still a common ingrediant in the US. Research has proven that (alpha) Arbutin has a stronger inhibitory action than that of (beta) Arbutin, but it is a more costly ingredient to manufacture, even at very low concentrations, which is why many manufacturers still use hydroquinone.
Dalam statement yg lain. Ada yg mengatakan ianya bahaya. Side Effects of Alpha ArbutinThis ingredient was seen to be safer compared to hydroquinone which is highly banned in some countries. Regardless of naturally extracted, Alpha arbutin has been discovered to have the possibility of breaking down to hydroquinone while in the body. This is mainly because Alpha Arbutin is a glucosylated hydroquinone in nature- sumber http://www.beautyclue.com/
Kesimpulannya... Adakah produk2 tempatan yg disenarai mengandungi bahan Arbutin ni bahaya atau tidak digunakan untuk jangka masa yg pjg?
