What is Bearberry?

Derived from the leaves of the Uva Ursi plant, Bearberry is a botanical skin lightener, and source of the active agent Arbutin. It works by reducing melanin production, which is the brown pigment in skin. Bearberry is a safe alternative for lightening because it provides the same benefits as hydroquinone, without the safety concerns.

Since neither Bearberry nor Arbutin break down into HQ, this natural skin lightener offers a safer, yet still effective alternative. It can help your skin tone appear brighter while helping to get rid of dark blotches. Bearberry extract is effective in treating many different types of pigment issues. It's free of chemicals to help ensure safety.

How Does Bearberry Extract Work?

As with other skin lighteners, this blocks the formation of color pigments. By stopping the new pigment from being produced, dark spots eventually wear off as the skin naturally exfoliates and new cells come to the surface. This extract is commonly used for age spots, freckles, sun spots, melasma, acne scars, and evening out blotchy skin tone for a more uniform, brighter complexion.

It’s also packed with antioxidants and is shown to have some natural sun protective benefits for the skin. Bearberry also increases the cell turnover rate and because it is an excellent antioxidant, it works to fight free radicals that can cause additional skin conditions.

Used alone, this extract can dramatically change the tone and color of the skin. Because of the powerful whitening effects, this pure extract should be diluted so it has a more controlled effect on the skin. Using a stronger dose does not make it work any faster, but could cause uneven lightening. Used regularly, it can remove even the most stubborn pigmented areas of the skin. As with all lightening products, time and consistency are key.
