Product Description

 

Kojic acid is a skin lightener that works through antioxidant activity. Kojic acid is a tyrosinase inhibitor, although it is not as effective as licorice extract. When combined with allantoin and other appropriate ingredients in sunscreen preparations, this mixture can inhibit UV-induced erythema and accelerate wound healing. It has also been found to be sensitive to the skin and may be irritating.

Whitening and freckle removal:

Kojic acid is an effective whitening agent. The whitening principle is mainly achieved by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin synthesis, which can convert tyrosine into melanin. Kojic acid can bind to copper ions in tyrosinase and change the conformation of the enzyme, thereby inhibiting its activity and reducing the production of melanin. For example, in the experiments of some whitening skin care products, after using products containing kojic acid, the melanin content of the skin will be significantly reduced, which has a certain improvement effect on pigmentation skin problems such as freckles and melasma.

It also stops the spread of melanin. After production, melanin is transported through the dendrites of melanocytes to the surrounding keratinocytes. Kojic acid may interfere with this transport process, making it difficult for melanin to spread to the surface of the skin, further enhancing the whitening effect.

Antioxidant effect:



Kojic acid has antioxidant properties. In the skin, it can remove free radicals, such as superoxide anion radicals, hydroxyl radicals, etc. Free radicals are unstable molecules that attack various components of skin cells, including cell membranes, DNA, etc., leading to skin aging, inflammation and other problems. Kojic acid can provide electrons to free radicals, making them stable, thereby reducing free radical damage to the skin. This helps maintain the healthy state of the skin and delays the aging process of the skin.
