Product Description

Kojic Acid Powder

Product Description

Kojic acid is a natural compound derived from fungi, particularly from the fermentation of certain species of mushrooms. It is widely recognized for its skin-lightening properties and is often used in cosmetic formulations to reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.

High-purity Kojic Acid Powder is a powerful natural skin brightener. This pharmaceutical-grade powder effectively inhibits melanin production, reducing dark spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation for a visibly brighter, more even complexion.

  • Potent Skin Whitening – Blocks tyrosinase activity to prevent melanin formation
  • Hyperpigmentation Treatment – Fades sun spots, melasma & post-acne marks
  • Antioxidant Protection – Fights free radicals that cause premature aging

Recommended Usage

Generally, in whitening creams, lotions, and other products, the addition amount of kojic acid is usually around 1% - 4%. If the concentration is too low, the effect may not be obvious, while a too high concentration may increase skin irritation.

For spot-lightening serums or gels used locally, the concentration may be slightly higher, between 2% - 5%. It is recommended to conduct a small-area trial first to observe skin tolerance.
