Arbutin comes from bearberry, cranberry, mulberry, and blueberry leaves. This is basically a plant-derived whitening ingredient, which is definitely a much safer alternative to Hydroquinone, but has the same exact skin whitening effect.

SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is probably the most helpful ingredient in maintaining the skin's youthful appearance.

SPF assists the active whitening ingredients by safeguarding the skin from harmful UV rays and keeping its moisture locked.
