Kojic Acid,Kojic Acid powderKojic acid is a kind of specialized inhibitor for melanin. It can prevent the tyrosinase activity through synthesizing with copper ion in the cells after it enters skin cells. Kojic acid and its derivative has better inhibitory effect on tyrosinase than any other skin whitening agents. At present it is assigned into various kinds of cosmetics for curing freckles, spots on the skin of old man, pigmentation and acne.
Kojic acid can also eliminate free radical, strengthen cell activity of cell and keep the food fresh. It is widely used in the fields of medicine and food.
Function of Kojic acid
-Kojic acid can inhibit tyrosinase synthesis, so it can largely inhibit the skin melanin formation;
-Kojic acid is able to eliminate the free radicals in the human body, strengthen the activity of the leucocyte;
-Kojic acid have ideal effect in easing pain, relieving inflammation and curing many diseases.
Application of Kojic acid
-Applied in Agriculture:kojic acid is used in producing biological pesticides;
-Applied in Medicine,kojic acid has been used as the an important material of cephalosporin-type antibiotics;
-Applied in other fields:kojic acid is also used as iron analytical reagent and film spotting agent, etc;
-Applied in Cosmetics,kojic acid has been widely added into the lotion, face mask, liquid cream and skin cream. Recommendation usage for cosmetics: 0.2~1.0%;

Kojic acid, also known as kojic acid, gallic acid, is a melanin-specific inhibitor, which enters the skin cells to complex with the copper ions in cells, changing the three-dimensional structure of tyrosinase and preventing the activation of tyrosinase , Thereby inhibiting the formation of melanin. Kojic acid whitening active agent than other whitening agents have a better tyrosinase inhibitory effect. It does not act on the other biological enzymes in the cell, no toxic effects on the cells, but it can also enter the interstitial cells, composed of interstitial glia, play a role in water retention and increase skin elasticity.
