Question

Can I use Alpha Arbutin at a concentration of 5%? What would the price be?

Answer

Alpha Arbutin Usage Concentration

Based on the product information for Alpha Arbutin (including the Switzerland, China Enzymatic Synthesis, and China Crystal Form grades), the recommended usage concentration is 0.2-2%. The description specifically recommends 2% for skin whitening and states do not use more than 2.00%.

Using Alpha Arbutin at a concentration of 5% is higher than the recommended maximum level. It's important to adhere to the recommended usage rates to ensure both effectiveness and safety.

Additionally, please note that Alpha Arbutin formulations should have a pH between 3.5-6.5. Do not mix in formulations with a pH higher than 8, as this can cause Alpha Arbutin to break down into hydroquinone, which is a dangerous substance.

Regarding the price, I am unable to provide specific pricing information.
