Question
What is Tetrahydropyranyloxy Phenol, is the claim that it is 350 times better than Alpha Arbutin true, and why is it not available for purchase from MySkinRecipes?
Answer
Regarding Tetrahydropyranyloxy Phenol and its claimed efficacy compared to alpha arbutin:
- Currently, we do not have plans to sell Tetrahydropyranyloxy Phenol.
- This is because there is no reliable 3rd party research available to confirm its effectiveness and claims (such as being 350 times better than alpha arbutin).
- Our policy is to wait for research results from independent, credible institutions that are not affiliated with the ingredient's developer or manufacturer and are published in relevant scientific journals.
- While this doesn't necessarily mean the ingredient is ineffective, without independent verification, we cannot confirm its claims and cannot rule out the possibility that they are solely for marketing purposes.
- We will consider stocking the ingredient if and when reliable research supporting its efficacy becomes available from trusted institutions.
Thank you for your understanding.
