What is the formula ratio of alpha-Arbutin?


The formula ratio of alpha-Arbutin in cosmetics is generally 1%~3%. This ratio is based on a comprehensive consideration of many factors such as its whitening effect, safety, and compatibility with other ingredients. The specific amount of addition should be adjusted according to the product type and demand.

Arbutin, as a whitening ingredient extracted from natural plants, has attracted much attention in the cosmetics field in recent years. Its whitening effect has been widely recognized, and the issue of its formula ratio has always been the focus of attention of industry insiders.



1. Formula ratio of arbutin

In cosmetics, the addition ratio of arbutin is usually controlled between 1% and 3%. This ratio is obtained through scientific research and practical verification, aiming to ensure its whitening effect while ensuring the safety and stability of the product. Too low an addition may not achieve the expected whitening effect, while too high an addition may increase the irritation of the product and even cause skin discomfort.



2. Scientific basis for formula ratio

The whitening effect of arbutin is mainly achieved by inhibiting the production of melanin. It binds to tyrosinase and competes for the binding site of DOPA, thereby accelerating the decomposition and excretion of melanin. The addition of an appropriate amount of arbutin can effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the skin and reduce the production of melanin, thereby achieving the effect of whitening the skin. At the same time, arbutin also has a good antioxidant effect and can resist the damage of the external environment to the skin.



3. Application Examples of Arbutin

Arbutin can be widely used in various cosmetics, such as toner, essence, cream, etc. Taking toner as an example, 1~3g of arbutin can be added to every 100mL of total volume. By mixing evenly with other ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, rose pure water, etc., a toner with whitening effect can be prepared. When using, just apply the toner evenly on the face and gently pat until absorbed.


Although arbutin has many advantages, the following points should still be noted when using it: First, make sure that the amount of arbutin added in the product meets the safety standards; second, for people with sensitive skin, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale trial first to ensure that there is no allergic reaction; finally, arbutin is easily decomposed in an acidic environment, so when using products containing arbutin, avoid using it with acidic substances at the same time.



In summary, the formula ratio of arbutin in cosmetics is generally 1%~3%, which is based on a comprehensive consideration of many factors such as its whitening effect, safety, and compatibility with other ingredients. Through reasonable addition and application, arbutin can bring us fairer and healthier skin.
