AHB is deeply involved in the field of skin care, and based on synthetic biology technology, it launched 100% green source arbutin

In the field of skin care, whitening is an enduring topic. According to the data from iResearch, the overall scale of China’s facial skin care industry will reach 258.7 billion in 2021. In addition to the basicw functions of cleansing and moisturizing, the core population has obviously paid more attention to advanced functions, and whitening surpasses other advanced functions. The user-side attention ranks first.

Studies have shown that The process of tanning is actually a protective mechanism for the skin to respond to external stimuli. There are many melanocytes distributed in the basal layer of our epidermis. When the skin receives external stimuli such as ultraviolet radiation, it will activate tyrosinase in melanocytes. It stimulates the conversion of tyrosine to accelerate the production of melanin to resist the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin. After melanin is produced, it is evenly deposited in the epidermis of the skin, which will cause the skin to darken. If it is deposited locally, it will form freckles and dark spots.

So how does arbutin, known as the master of whitening, work?The whitening mechanism of arbutin is that it can be used as a substrate of tyrosinase. By combining itself with tyrosinase, it can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, block the formation of melanin, reduce skin pigmentation, and achieve whitening of the skin. Effect. At the same time, arbutin is a molecule composed of multiple hydroxyl groups and organic groups, and its aqueous solution is colorless and transparent, which makes it highly compatible and suitable as an additive for cream formulations.

At the same time, the skin of yellow people is more sensitive and fragile than others.The scientific research team of AHB has a deep insight into the needs of consumers for safe skin care. Through synthetic biology with natural green and cutting-edge technological attributes, the arbutin production process has been innovated, and a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable bio-enzyme catalysis method has been officially launched. Produced α-Arbutin, β-Arbutin from 100% bio-based carbon (Beta Analytic laboratory test data) produced by bio-fermentation. While ensuring comprehensive and excellent product efficacy, it nourishes the natural body with mild and efficient ingredients, creating confidence, health and beauty for consumers.

AHB fermentation method β-arbutin has passed the certification of COSMOS by virtue of its green, safe and environment-friendly attributes, and won the most influential and authoritative Ringier Technology Innovation Award in the personal care industry in 2022. At the same time, the test results of β-arbutin zebrafish whitening efficacy (melanin signal intensity) show that the whitening effect of β-arbutin produced by AHBfermentation method is better- because the raw materials produced by biological fermentation method have better biological activity , the impurities contained in the production fermentation sample are less toxic to the organism.

AHB is committed to providing consumers with a safer and more efficient technological skin care experience, making the power of synthetic biology the engine for the sustainable development of cosmetic raw materials.
