X IGHTENING Powder

A tone complex with three actives

This listing is the X50 Lightening complex, sold under the H1 name X IGHTENING. Its system combines arbutin, sodium ascorbyl phosphate and a palmitoyl peptide in a carrier of lactic and glycolic acid copolymer and polyvinyl alcohol, thickened with xanthan gum. The US catalog INCI is Aqua (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Lactic Acid/Glycolic Acid Copolymer (and) Polyvinyl Alcohol (and) Arbutin (and) Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (and) Palmitoyl sh-Tripeptide-5 Norisoleucyl sh-Nonapeptide-1. CAS is Mixture. The H1 names it a powder.

Not X50 Pure White

X50 Pure White is a different X50-family listing with its own INCI. Nonapeptide-1 is a single tone peptide. Compare dry options in our peptide powders.

Working with the powder

Dissolving

Weigh the powder on a calibrated balance, dissolve it completely in a small portion of the formula water before it meets the rest of the batch, and add that premix in cool-down, below 40 °C. Check that the premix is fully clear before you add it.

Compatibility

Existing notes for this SKU say to keep it away from strong oxidizers and high-ionic-strength systems, such as products very rich in salts. A mild, water-rich base is the safest home.

Level

This card does not state a use percentage, so follow the CoA and the supplier documentation for the level.

Dispersion

Follow the CoA for solvent and dispersion guidance for this delivery system.

Product types that suit it

Brightening serums, even-tone essences, spot-look correctors and light day creams.

Pairing ideas

Niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, glycerin and licorice extracts. Add each active separately and check clarity, odor and viscosity after each addition instead of premixing several actives in one beaker.

Example architecture

Water, glycerin, niacinamide, a light polymer, the X50 premix at the supplier level, a chelator and a preservative. The level comes from the CoA, so no gram recipe is shown here.

Claims

Describe skin that looks brighter and more even in tone with regular use. Keep claims cosmetic and tied to appearance. Any before-and-after statement needs a test on the finished product, not on the raw material.

Testing the finished product

Run a stability check on the finished product at room temperature, at 40 °C and in a fridge for several weeks, and watch color, odor, clarity, viscosity and pH. Check the product in its final pack too, since pumps, droppers and jars expose it to air differently. A preservative challenge test on the final product is the standard step before launch.

Lot handling and storage

Record appearance and pH on arrival, compare them with the CoA, and keep the CoA with your batch records so each finished batch can be traced to its lot. Keep the powder tightly closed and dry, since peptides pick up moisture from the air, and respect the shelf life on the CoA.

Labeling and documents

Write the INCI exactly as the CoA for your lot gives it, in the order the supplier lists it, and keep the CAS line the same as the CoA, including N/A or Mixture where that is what it says. Keep the CoA with your batch records. If your market needs an SDS or a full ingredient breakdown, ask for it before you scale so the paperwork matches the batch you buy.

Ordering

It is sold as a raw material for cosmetic formulation, not as a finished consumer product. Start with a small pack for bench trials and scale once your stability checks pass. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
