Dissolving Alpha Arbutin
1
Use a digital scale to weigh your alpha arbutin.
While it hasn’t been studied thoroughly, alpha arbutin‘s shelf life is roughly 12 months. If you plan on using it every day, use 20–25 grams (0.71–0.88 oz) or more. If you only plan on using alpha arbutin on occasion, use 10–15 grams (0.35–0.53 oz). Use a digital scale to weigh out your arbutin, or purchase a bottle containing the exact amount that you plan on using. [2] X Research source

Calculate the amount of purified water
needed to create a 5:1 ratio. The easiest way to get purified water is to purchase it. Alternatively, you can use a commercial water filter or boil the water for 30 minutes. Avoid chemically purifying your water with iodine or bleach since it may modify the arbutin in an unexpected way.
