Properties: This product is a white or off-white crystalline substance, serving as a highly effective whitening agent. It improves the instability of kojic acid and has been widely adopted. It effectively inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, blocking or delaying the formation of melanin. Kojic dipalmitate offers high stability not found in Vitamin C, possesses antioxidant effects, rapidly penetrates the skin, is absorbed by the skin, softens the stratum corneum, and is not only recognized by the medical community but also approved by health authorities. It is commonly used in the medical field to lighten facial spots and is a whitening ingredient that combines efficacy, safety, and texture.

Mechanism of Action:

Kojic dipalmitate strongly inhibits the production of melanin in human skin. In terms of inhibiting tyrosinase activity, it differs from arbutin, isoflavone compounds, placental extract, and ascorbic acid. Its unique feature is its ability to bind with copper ions during action, preventing the activation of tyrosinase by copper ions. It also inhibits the formation of melanin responsible for dark spots and freckles, promotes skin metabolism, quickly eliminates existing melanin, and shows whitening effects in a short period.

Safety: This product is non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-photosensitive.
