Information on Purchasing Ingredients

You can purchase ingredients like Alpha Arbutin and Perfect-C. These are raw materials intended for use in cosmetic formulations.

Based on the product information:

• Alpha Arbutin: This is a water-soluble ingredient used for skin brightening and achieving an even skin tone. It is considered safe and does not have side effects like hydroquinone. It works by reducing melanin production. There are different grades available, including Swiss and Chinese origins.
• Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate): This is an oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative known for its high stability and effectiveness. It helps brighten skin, reduce UV damage, act as an antioxidant, and stimulate collagen synthesis. It is absorbed well into the skin.

Are they dangerous?

These ingredients are generally considered safe for cosmetic use when handled and used correctly in formulations according to recommended guidelines (such as usage rate, pH levels, and mixing methods) provided in the product descriptions. Using raw ingredients directly on the skin or incorrectly formulating them can potentially lead to irritation or reduced effectiveness. They are designed to be incorporated into finished cosmetic products, not applied neat.

Therefore, while you can purchase these ingredients, it is important to understand that they are raw materials for formulation and should be handled and used with care, following technical guidelines.
