I-Arbutin yikhompawundi yendalo efumaneka kwizityalo ezahlukeneyo, ngakumbi kwisityalo se-bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), ii-cranberries, ii-blueberries, kunye neepere. Ikwiqela lekhompawundi eyaziwa ngokuba yi-glycosides. Iintlobo ezimbini eziphambili ze-arbutin yi-alpha-arbutin kunye ne-beta-arbutin.
I-Arbutin yaziwa ngeempawu zayo zokukhanyisa ulusu, njengoko ithintela umsebenzi we-tyrosinase, i-enzyme ebandakanyekayo ekuvelisweni kwe-melanin. I-Melanin yipigment enoxanduva lombala wolusu, iinwele kunye namehlo. Ngokuthintela i-tyrosinase, i-arbutin inceda ekunciphiseni ukuveliswa kwe-melanin, nto leyo ekhokelela ekubeni ulusu lube mhlophe.
Ngenxa yempembelelo yayo yokukhanyisa ulusu, i-arbutin sisithako esiqhelekileyo kwiimveliso zokuhombisa kunye nokhathalelo lolusu. Ihlala isetyenziswa kwiifomyula ezenzelwe ukujongana nemiba efana nokunyuka kwebala, amabala amnyama, kunye nethoni yolusu engalinganiyo. Ithathwa njengendlela ethambileyo kunezinye izinto ezikhanyisa ulusu, ezifana ne-hydroquinone, enokuba yingozi ngakumbi kulusu.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba nangona i-arbutin ithathwa njengekhuselekileyo ekusetyenzisweni ngaphandle kwesikhumba, abantu abanesikhumba esibuthathaka okanye abane-allergies kufuneka balumke baze benze uvavanyo lwe-patch ngaphambi kokusebenzisa iimveliso ezine-arbutin. Njengakwezinye izithako zokhathalelo lolusu, kuyacetyiswa ukuba udibane nogqirha wesikhumba okanye ingcali yezempilo ukuze ufumane ingcebiso eyenzelwe wena.
