Based on your request for ingredients for an underarm whitening cream that provide whitening and exfoliation, and considering the sensitivity of underarm skin, here are the recommended ingredients:
Whitening Ingredients:
- MSH White
- GlucoBright
- Alpha Arbutin
- Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
Exfoliating Ingredients:
For gentle exfoliation suitable for the underarm area, it is recommended to use ingredients that are less irritating than AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA, Salicylic Acid EZ, or Sodium Lactate. Recommended gentle exfoliants include:
- Pumpkin Renew™
- Willow Bark Extract

Usage Percentage:
- For Alpha Arbutin, it is recommended to use no more than 1% for the underarm area, even though the manufacturer's maximum recommended rate is 2%, to minimize potential irritation.

Compatibility:
The recommended ingredients listed above are suitable for use together in a cream base. You also mentioned including Phospholipid, which is compatible.
However, Reservoir-Tech is not recommended for use in this formula as its compatibility with MSH White Absorb™ has not been tested.
