*Alpha arbutin powder is a naturally active substance isolated from various plant genera. Containing strong hydrophilic glucose residues,
it can effectively retain skin moisture and easily penetrate the outer layer of the skin; Phenol groups are effective inhibitors of tyrosinase,
which can effectively inhibit the biological activity of tyrosinase, limit and reduce the formation of melanin in cells, and have a whitening effect.
*Is Alpha Arbutin Powder water-soluble or oil-soluble? How to incorporate it?
Alpha-Arbutin is water-soluble. It dissolves readily in water, glycols (propylene glycol, butylene glycol), and glycerin. It is practically insoluble in oils.
Incorporation method: Simply add Alpha-Arbutin to the water phase at room temperature or with gentle heating (up to 60°C). It dissolves quickly
and remains clear. For clear serums, dissolve directly in deionized water. No special equipment is needed.
★What is the recommended dosage of Alpha Arbutin Powder in cosmetic formulations?
Due to its high potency, lower concentrations are effective:
Brightening serums / ampoules: 0.5-2% (optimal 1-2%)
Anti-spot creams / lotions: 1-2%
Daily moisturizers / toners: 0.5-1%
Sheet mask essences: 0.5-1.5%
Rinse-off products (cleansers, masks): 1-2% (less critical due to short contact)
For first trials, start at 1%. Do not exceed 2% in leave-on products for most markets (though no official limit,
higher concentrations may cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals).
★What products is Alpha Arbutin Powder suitable for?
Whitening serums, spot-correcting creams, brightening toners, facial masks, lotions, sunscreens and sensitive-skin brightening products.
★What is the recommended usage rate in formulations?
Recommended addition concentration: 1%–3%, can be adjusted according to product positioning and efficacy requirements.
