Question

How to determine if the pH of a cosmetic formula containing Activated Resorcinol, Vitamin B3, and Tranexamic Acid is suitable, and why is pH important for these ingredients?

Answer

Regarding the pH of the formula, determining the exact value requires actual measurement. The pH of a mixed formula depends on each ingredient, its concentration, and their interactions.

PH is very important for the stability, efficacy, and skin compatibility of the active ingredients in the formula, such as Activated Resorcinol, Vitamin B3, and Tranexamic Acid. Each ingredient may have a different optimal pH range.

Therefore, it is recommended to measure the pH of the finished formula and adjust it to be within the appropriate range for the active ingredients to work effectively and safely for the skin.
