*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.
