Question
What ingredients can help prevent Alpha Arbutin from changing color or losing its effectiveness?
Answer
To help prevent Alpha Arbutin from changing color and maintain its effectiveness, you can use an antioxidant blend like ActiveProtec™ OX.
ActiveProtec™ OX contains various high-performance antioxidants that protect ingredients from oxidation, which is a common cause of discoloration and degradation in formulations containing Alpha Arbutin.
Based on product information, it is recommended to use ActiveProtec™ OX at a rate of 0.1-1.0% in your formulation. Ensure the final pH of your formulation is above 4, as ActiveProtec™ OX is acid resistant below pH 4.
