Hey guys hope you are well, I’ve decided to add KA (pure) and alpha arbutin into my glycolic lotion I’ve also added a preservative. I noticed as soon as I pour the ka and AA powder into the lotion the lotion turned from white to like a peachy color immediately does anyone know what happened? Is the lotion still effective?

I’m sure it’s the KA that turned the lotion to that color.

Yea that’s what I’m thinking too but I was wondering if it’s still effective

So you literally just poured the powders into the lotion? I’m not sure how effective that method is, I’ve always been told to dissolve both AA and Kojic in warm water before adding it to a cream or lotion. Not saying you method doesn’t work, I just have no knowledge of it

No I didn’t pour it directly I dissolved it first before adding it

Ok then your mix should be fine then. Did you use a lot of KA?

Hi Saucey!! Glad you decided to give it a go. What base lotion did you use for this? @saucey yes it would still be effective, don't toss it. But wondering what base it was, it looks good otherwise
