The leaves of bearberry extract (Arctostaphylos uva-urusi) have a powerful astringency and probably also an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect. Some sources cite skin-lightening properties as well given its arbutin content. The main constituent of bearberry leaves is a crystallisable glucoside called arbutin. other constituents include methyl-arbutin, ericolin, ursone, gallic acid, ellagic acid, and probably also myricetin. The bearberry plant is a small shrub, and the dried leaves are the only part of the plant used in cosmetics. |
