Adding Alpha Arbutin to Your Sunscreen Formula

Based on the staff's suggested formula and the properties of Alpha Arbutin, you can add Alpha Arbutin to your sunscreen.

Recommended Amount

Alpha Arbutin can be used at a concentration of 0.2-2%. For effective skin brightening, a concentration of 2% is recommended.

• Luxury Cream Maker: 2.5 g
• Alpha Arbutin (China): 2 g

• Total: 100 g

Mixing Steps

Follow the mixing steps provided by the staff for the modified formula, incorporating Alpha Arbutin into the water phase:

1. Prepare the Water Phase: Combine Distilled Water and Alpha Arbutin. Mix until Alpha Arbutin is completely dissolved.
2. Prepare the Oil Phase: Combine SPF Protect Ultra™, LipidSoft™ Dry, and Luxury Cream Maker.
3. Heat the Oil Phase: Gently heat the oil phase mixture to 70°C until all ingredients are dissolved and combined.
4. Combine Phases: Gradually add the water phase (containing dissolved Alpha Arbutin) into the heated oil phase in 5-10 portions while continuously mixing. Mix until a homogeneous cream is formed.
5. Cooling and Final Additions: Allow the cream to cool down. Once the temperature is below 30°C, add Phenoxyethanol and mix thoroughly.
