Question

What is the final concentration of Tranexamic Acid if 10g of another active ingredient is added to 100g of Nano-TXA™ base (3% Tranexamic Acid Nano Emulsion, Penetration Base)?

Answer

Based on the information provided:

  1. Your original 100g of Nano-TXA™ base contains 3% Tranexamic Acid, which is 3g of Tranexamic Acid (0.03 * 100g = 3g).
  2. When you add 10g of another active ingredient, the total weight of your mixture becomes 100g + 10g = 110g.
  3. The amount of Tranexamic Acid in the mixture is still 3g.
  4. To find the new percentage of Tranexamic Acid in the 110g mixture, you calculate (3g / 110g) * 100%.
    (3 / 110) * 100 ≈ 2.73%

Therefore, the concentration of Tranexamic Acid in the diluted mixture of 110g will be approximately 2.73%.
