Kojic Acid
Kojic Acid Powder is a special type of acid that is obtained from various fungi types. This product is produced by fermenting malting rice. It is widely used in cosmetic applications and can also be manufactured to be a chemosensitizer for fungicides. Therefore, its derivatives can be extensively used in pharmaceutical products as well. It occurs naturally as an inhibitor during the melanin synthesis in animal tissues and is also found in plant pigments in smaller amounts.
Kojic Acid is available in powdered form and is of an off-white color. Moreover, it is water-soluble as well. While using it in cosmetic applications, the concentration of this acid should range from 1 to 3%. It is mostly known for its skin-lightening properties but also exhibits antimicrobial properties to some extent.
The color of our skin mainly depends on the pigment called melanin and its production is supported by tyrosine, an amino acid. An increase in melanin production darkens your skin and Kojic Acid blocks the formation of tyrosine which is mainly responsible for melanin production. As a result, it indirectly reduces the production of melanin to a great extent which in turn lightens the color of your skin cells.

How to use Kojic Acid?
The concentration level of this acid should not exceed 3% and it should be added to the formulas when it is in the water phase. The temperature should be between 25 to 40-degree Celsius while adding it to the formulas. If you add it when the temperature is greater than 40-degree Celsius it might lose some of its properties due to oxidation.
