  Are you sure it’s the a-arbutin? try it without the hyaluronic acid to check. For the ingredients you gave, i don’t see potentiel precipitation (Except for maybe the HA with something else)

    alpha arbutin is precipitating.. the result is derived by elimination method. is there any grade problem with alpha arbutin? i have tried it with 1% but still problem is not solved.

  Besides the alcohol you mentioned in your formula, are you using ethanol or any other alcohol? That can reduce arbutin solubility.
