Natural kojic acid powder description

Kojic acid, an organic compound, is mainly used as a whitening agent, food additive, and also as a preservative, preservative and color protection agent.

Kojic acid exists in koji. It is something people eat and safe to use. In recent years, a large number of patent documents have reported the application of kojic acid in cosmetics. Tyrosinase is the key enzyme to produce melanin. Kojic acid can chelate with the copper of tyrosinase to inactivate it, which is the basis of its whitening effect. The results of clinical and application tests show that kojic acid has a strong inhibitory effect on melanogenesis of human skin, and is safe, non-toxic, and will not cause leukoplakia sequelae. Kojic acid and other preparations (such as SOD, placenta extract, amino acid, sunscreen and various plant extracts) have better effects when used in combination. Kojic acid is mainly used in skin whitening products, anti-aging products, sunscreen products, whitening cleansers and beauty cosmetics.

Kojic acid has certain antibacterial activity. Gram-negative bacteria are more sensitive to kojic acid than gram-positive bacteria, while most other antimicrobial substances are the opposite. The antibacterial effect of kojic acid is far lower than that of other antibacterial substances, and its antibacterial activity is antibacterial rather than bactericidal. Kojic acid has no effect on yeast, virus and bacteriophage.
