Thank you for your enquiry.
Please see the below response from our Research and Development Team,
“We haven’t actually tried that, so cannot say with certainty, but I really this with even 5% Skin Lightener would be stable. Vegetal is very tolerant to having extras in Stage 3. Just take the same percentage used out of the water stage. Vegetal is also a good choice for such an ingredient as the lamellar structure allows a gradual penetration of the active over many hours, which will make it more effective.”

Good evening,
I was wondering if any actives can be added in addition to stage three ingredients.
Can this formula take another 3% of actives in stage three?
I want to add Skin lightener.
Would the formula be stable with this addition, please?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Ileana Bizinic
