Product Description
Kojic acid dipalmitate is a derivative of kojic acid, produced by the esterification reaction of kojic acid with palmitic acid. It retains the property of inhibiting tyrosinase activity, and the introduction of long-chain fatty acid groups improves its solubility and stability in oils. In cosmetic formulations, compared with kojic acid, it can be more evenly dispersed in the oily system and has better compatibility with other oily components, thus expanding its application range in the cosmetics field.
Premium Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder is an innovative, oil-soluble derivative of kojic acid that delivers superior skin-brightening benefits with enhanced stability and skin compatibility. This high-purity powder offers all the melanin-inhibiting power of traditional kojic acid, with improved formulation flexibility and gentler action on sensitive skin.
- Enhanced Stability – Oil-soluble form resists degradation in formulations.
- Gentle Yet Effective – Reduces irritation while inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
- Powerful Brightening – Fades dark spots, melasma, and uneven pigmentation.
- Versatile Application – Perfect for both water-based and oil-based formulations.
- Antioxidant Benefits – Helps protect skin from oxidative stress.
Key Benefits
High-efficiency Whitening
Blocks the melanin synthesis pathway by inhibiting tyrosinase, reducing skin pigmentation and lightening spots.
Superior Stability
More stable chemical properties compared to kojic acid; less prone to oxidation and discoloration for a longer shelf life.
Mild & Low-irritation
Excellent oil compatibility forms a protective film that reduces irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
Moisturizing Effect
Helps form a protective barrier on the skin surface to reduce water evaporation and keep skin hydrated.
Recommended Usage
- Whitening Creams & Lotions: Typically added at 0.5% - 2% to effectively inhibit melanin with low skin irritation.
- Serums: Addition amount is generally 1% - 3% for significant whitening effects in a shorter time.
- Sunscreens: Usually added at 0.5% - 1.5% to work synergistically with UV filters to prevent sun-induced pigmentation.
Note: Actual dosage should be adjusted based on specific product formulation, target skin type, and regional regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the main difference between Kojic Acid and Kojic Acid Dipalmitate?
A: Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is an oil-soluble derivative. Unlike standard Kojic Acid, it is highly stable against light and heat and does not change color easily in formulations.
Q2: Is Kojic Acid Dipalmitate safe for sensitive skin?
A: Yes, it is generally milder and less irritating than pure Kojic Acid, making it suitable for a wider range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
Q3: Can I use this ingredient in oil-based serums?
A: Absolutely. Its oil-soluble nature makes it perfect for anhydrous (water-free) serums and oil-in-water emulsions.
Q4: Does Kojic Acid Dipalmitate help with melasma?
A: Yes, by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, it effectively helps fade dark spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
Q5: What is the recommended storage condition?
A: It should be stored in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to maintain its stability and potency.
