BearBerry (Uva Ursi) with Arbutin
1. BearBerry Extract(Uva Ursi):
Bearberry extract is made from the leaves of the bearberry plant and the latin name is Arctostaphyllos Uva Ursi. Bearberry Extract is used as a lightening agent to fade freckles or skin discoloration which may be caused by sun damage or hormonal conditions.
Bearberry extract has antioxidant properties that may be beneficial for cleansing the skin and improving its appearance. Bearberry still inhibits the production of melanin, which creates the pigment in your skin. The result is real, noticeable lightening of dark spots that helps your natural skin tone come through.
Uva ursi is non-irritating and suitable even for sensitive skin. Uva ursi also has an anti-inflammatory effect, which helps tame redness and soothe rosacea. Bearberry extract has natural astringent properties, which help tighten pores and tissues, helping skin to appear smoother and more uniform while reducing puffiness.

2. Alpha Arbutin:
Alpha-Arbutin (4-Hydroxyphenyl-a-D-glucopyranoside) is a pure, water soluble. biosynthetic active ingredient. Alpha-Arbutin blocks epidermal melanin synthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine and Dopa.
Alpha Arbutin has fewer side effects than hydroquinone of similar concentrations - presumably due to the more gradual release. It is a more effective, faster, and safer approach to promoting skin - brightening and an even skin tone for all skin types. Alpha Arbutin also minimizes the appearance of liver spots and meets all the requirements of a modern skin-brightening and dark spot correcting product.
Alpha Arbutin is a gentle but powerful lightening agent that comes from the bearberry tree. It brings the benefits of strong melanin inhibitors such as hydroquinone, but without the odor, toxicity, and potential side-effects. Alpha Arbutin is quite simply a natural and effective alternative to other skin lightening chemical.

6. Hyaluronic Acid:
Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a natural compound found in skin that has many important functions, including holding in moisture, providing cushioning, adding in tissue repair, and holding together the skin's structural components (collagen and elastin). Topical products containing hyaluronic acid are effective at moisturizing surface skin cells.
-Moisturizing: Hyaluronic acid holds moisture well-holding up to 1000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid functions not only to deliver water to the skin, but also to hold it there.
-Wrinkles: The loss of natural hyaluronic acid is one of the primary causes of wrinkles, so the idea of putting HA back into the skin to repair wrinkles makes sense! By reducing wrinkles, your skin looks younger and evens out skin tone, making it look smooth and supple.
-Safety: Hyaluronic acid based products are considered highly safe.
