About Bearberry Extract(Uva Ursi Extract)
Uva ursi (Arctostaphylos uva ursi), as well accepted as bearberry (or beargrape), is frequently used as an astringent (which causes skin tissue to tighten), a mild diuretic (which promotes urination), and as a remedy for urinary tract infection. The plant has a long history of medicinal use as a remedy for urinary tract infections and bladder infections in the United States.
One of the main components of the Bearberry Extract is Arbutin. Arbutin once it comes in contact with the skin converts itself into Hydroquinone. Therefore, Bearberry Extract also has the capacity to naturally degrade existing skin melanin with exceptional efficacy. Thus, this novel two-tiered approach results in a more pre-emptive and long term skin tone lightening and color evening that is possible from conventional skin lighteners.
