Formula of hydroquinone is . I understand the concentrations are high but I have used them before, its just too expensive to keep buying from a compounding pharmacy. This study was funded by Ministre de l'Enseignement Suprieur et de la Recherche Scientifique. Other antioxidants, for example cationic salts of acidic ascorbyl esters, most preferably magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate, and sodium ascorbyl phosphate, have not been utilized in combination with hydroquinone in view of the acidic pH, generally from about 3.4 to about 3.5, and the recommended pH range for magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is about 7.0 to 8.5. The drug is freely soluble in water and in alcohol. If youd like my help or recipes for this bleaching cream please contact me on Instagram @kaylinell and @kay.linell or Facebook at kay linell. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has also highlighted concerns. Treatment with hydroquinone interferes with the action of tyrosinase, which is an enzyme used in the synthesis of melanin, and compositions are sold across the counter at about 2% hydroquinone and by prescription at higher concentrations. It is understood that while the invention has been described in conjunction with the detailed description thereof, that the foregoing description is intended to illustrate and not limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the scope of the appended claims. It is soluble in water. I've been presented with the problem of trying to dissolve Hydroquinone in a solvent other than water. If you have any specific questions, please include them in the comments section. Eastman Hydroquinone, USP Grade is for skin-lightening products to address hyperpigmentation. Table I shows that at 5C, 4% hydroquinone compositions maintain their white color with the addition of at least about 0.01% sodium metabisulfite at the low pH ranges (from about 3.50 to about 5.50) and at least 0.05% sodium metabisulfite for pH about 6.0 to about 7.0. 109. Eng. STATUS: THE APPLICATION IS DEEMED TO BE WITHDRAWN. Lastly, I'd like to add benzoic acid for preservation purposes. The most preferred example of such an antioxidant is sodium metabisulfite. Calorim. AzA inhibits tyrosinase. 0000085850 00000 n Tests, which results are detailed in the following two tables, are performed to show how well sodium metabisulfite ("SMBS") stabilizes color at each pH at 5C and 40C in 4% hydroquinone ("HQ") compositions.

They may also include ingredients with other therapeutic actions, such as anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, exfoliants and peels. 12.4. The composition is preferably formulated in separate phases as designated below. This range of pH has been preferred for hydroquinone compositions, because it has been believed that the hydroquinone is less likely to excessively discolor under acid conditions. Gravimetric method is used to measured hydroquinone solubility in water, ethanol and in water+ethanol binary mixtures at temperatures (293.15, 295.15, 298.15, 300.15, 303.15, 305.15, 308.15, 310.15 and 313.15)K. Mole fractions solubility of hydroquinone are correlated with temperature by using the Apelblat equation. The protective system can be an entrapment system, a single or multi-laminar system, such as by formation of vesicle, such as a liposome, or by utilizing wax, paraffin, silicone, polyethylene or any material or system which protects the retinoid from oxidation.
