Why Choose Tranexamic Acid?
Tranexamic Acid is widely used in modern cosmetic formulations focused on the appearance of uneven tone and visible discolouration. It is valued by formulators for its versatility within complexion-focused skincare and its ability to complement carefully designed brightening and refining formulations.
How to Prepare
Tranexamic Acid is water-soluble and should be dissolved into the water phase of your formulation before being incorporated into the finished product.
Use at 2–5% of the total formulation. Measure the required amount carefully and add it gradually to distilled or deionised water, stirring until fully dissolved and the solution appears uniform.
Once dissolved, it can be incorporated into compatible water-based formulations such as serums, lotions or creams.
Always formulate carefully, follow good cosmetic formulation practice and test the finished product for compatibility and stability before use.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know.
What type of formulations can I use this ingredient in?
The suitable formulation type depends on the individual ingredient and its solubility. Some powders are best suited to water-based formulations, while others should be incorporated into an oil phase.
Always follow the preparation guidance provided on the individual product page before adding the ingredient to serums, lotions, creams, oils or other compatible cosmetic formulations.
How much should I use?
Use at 2–5% of the total formulation, in line with the supplier guidance for the cosmetic ingredients we supply.
Measure carefully and avoid exceeding the recommended usage level. More is not necessarily better and can affect the stability, texture or tolerance of the finished formulation.
Can I combine it with other active ingredients?
Yes, many complexion-focused ingredients can be used together within a carefully designed formulation. Compatibility will depend on factors such as solubility, pH, concentration and the overall formulation system.
When combining multiple active ingredients, formulate carefully and test the finished product for stability and skin compatibility before regular use.
How should I store the powder?
Keep the powder securely sealed in a cool, dry and dark place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
Always use clean, dry utensils when handling the powder and close the packaging promptly after use to help maintain the quality of the raw material.
Is Tranexamic Acid water-soluble?
Yes. Tranexamic Acid is water-soluble and should be dissolved into the water phase of a compatible formulation before the remaining ingredients are incorporated.
Does the finished formulation need a specific pH range?
The pH of the finished formulation should be considered carefully when working with Tranexamic Acid and other active ingredients. The ideal range depends on the complete formulation and the specifications of the raw materials being used.
Check and adjust the finished product according to appropriate cosmetic formulation guidance rather than relying on the pH of one ingredient alone.
