    How to use

    Steps

    • Add at 0.2% to 2% of the finished formulation, using the higher range for more targeted formulas.
    • Add to the water phase and keep processing temperatures below 40°C. Aim for a finished pH of 4.5 to 6.5.
    • For best stability, use deionised water and minimise exposure to metals.

    Tip: For brightening skincare, pair the finished product with daily sunscreen to help protect against UV related pigmentation and support visible results.

    Professional tip

    For best formulation results, add Alpha Arbutin at 0.2% to 2% of the finished product, with higher concentrations reserved for appropriately developed targeted systems.

    Add it to the water phase and keep processing temperatures below 40°C. Aim for a finished pH between 4.5 and 6.5.

    Use deionised water and minimise unnecessary metal exposure to support stability. A suitable chelating agent may also be considered where appropriate for the complete formulation.

    Alpha Arbutin can work particularly well alongside compatible ingredients such as Niacinamide, N Acetyl Glucosamine and selected Vitamin C derivatives when developing multi active tone correcting products.

    For pigmentation focused skincare, pair the finished routine with daily broad spectrum sunscreen, as UV exposure can contribute to pigmentation and work against visible tone evening results.

    Always conduct appropriate stability, preservation, packaging compatibility and skin tolerance testing before using or selling the finished formulation.
