Professional tip

Kojic Acid can offer impressive brightening formulation potential, but stability is just as important as concentration. Accurately weigh the powder, incorporate it properly into the appropriate phase and monitor the finished product's pH, appearance and stability.

Ingredients

Includes Kojic Acid ≥99%.

Kojic Acid is primarily valued in cosmetic formulation for its ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity. This makes it useful in products designed to reduce the visible appearance of excess pigmentation and promote a brighter, more even looking complexion.

Unlike Kojic Dipalmitate, standard Kojic Acid is water soluble but can be more sensitive to formulation conditions such as heat, light and oxidation. Correct formulation, testing, packaging and storage are therefore particularly important.
