He hui kūlohelohe ʻo Arbutin i loaʻa i nā mea kanu like ʻole, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka mea kanu bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), cranberries, blueberries, a me nā peas. No kahi papa o nā hui i ʻike ʻia ʻo glycosides. ʻO nā ʻano nui ʻelua o ka arbutin he alpha-arbutin a me beta-arbutin.
Ua kaulana ʻo Arbutin no kona mau waiwai hoʻomālamalama ʻili, ʻoiai ke kāohi nei i ka hana o ka tyrosinase, kahi enzyme e pili ana i ka hana ʻana o ka melanin. ʻO Melanin ka pigment nona ke kala o ka ʻili, ka lauoho, a me nā maka. Ma ka pale ʻana i ka tyrosinase, kōkua ʻo arbutin i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hana ʻana o ka melanin, e alakaʻi ana i kahi ʻili māmā.
Ma muli o kona hopena hoʻomālamalama ʻili, he mea maʻamau ka arbutin i nā huahana hoʻonani a me nā huahana mālama ʻili. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ia i nā ʻano hana i hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia e like me ka hyperpigmentation, nā kiko ʻeleʻele, a me ke kala ʻili like ʻole. Ua manaʻo ʻia he koho ʻoluʻolu ia i kekahi mau mea hoʻomālamalama ʻili ʻē aʻe, e like me ka hydroquinone, hiki ke ʻoi aku ka ʻino ma ka ʻili.
He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ʻoiai ua manaʻo ʻia ka arbutin he palekana no ka hoʻohana ʻana ma waho o ka ʻili, pono e akahele ka poʻe me ka ʻili koʻikoʻi a i ʻole nā maʻi ʻaleka a hana i kahi hoʻāʻo ʻāpana ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā huahana i loaʻa ka arbutin. E like me nā mea hoʻohui mālama ʻili āpau, he mea kūpono ke kūkākūkā me kahi dermatologist a i ʻole ka loea mālama ola no ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo pilikino.
