Q: Why is Caffeine Powder used at such low percentages?
A: It is a concentrated active, so small amounts are typically enough in cosmetic formulas.

Q: Why does formula pH matter with Caffeine Powder?
A: Caffeine can crystallise in alkaline formulas, so lower pH systems are usually easier to keep smooth.

Q: Can Caffeine Powder be added directly to a cold formula?
A: It dissolves best in very hot water, so pre-dissolving usually gives a smoother result.

Q: Is this a ready-to-use eye product?
A: No. It is a raw formulation ingredient that needs to be properly incorporated into a finished product.
