What is kojic acid?

Kojic Acid powder can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, thereby inhibiting the formation of melanin, has obvious whitening effect, and does not inhibit other enzymes, and is now widely used in daily chemicals such as whitening sunscreen cosmetics, solvents and toothpaste.

Kojic acid is a chemical produced by different species of fungi. It can be used topically to reduce the appearance of dark spots, brighten skin and promote healthy aging.

Its main function in cosmetology is to prevent the formation of tyrosine, an amino acid required for the production of melanin, a pigment that affects skin color.

You can find metabolites as ingredients in skin creams, lotions, and soaps. Research shows that kojic acid and its derivatives have antioxidant, anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, UV protection and skin-brightening effects on the skin.

It is a colorless prismatic crystal that can inhibit tyrosinase activity in the process of melanin production, has a significant whitening effect, and does not inhibit other enzymes. It is now used in daily chemical industries such as whitening, sunscreen cosmetics, solvents, and toothpaste. widely used in.

Scientists first discovered that the hands of female brewers were particularly white. After studying fermentation products, they later discovered that kojic acid not only has a good preservation effect, but also has a good whitening effect, brightening and evening skin tone. Many European and American dermatologists use 2 to 4% kojic acid to treat patients with chloasma, and have achieved good results.

It is fermented and purified from glucose or sucrose under the action of koji enzyme. In addition to its whitening effect, kojic acid has been found to have antibacterial and preservation effects. Kojic acid is a cyclic pyrone compound that can enter the intercellular matrix to form intercellular colloid, which can moisturize and increase skin elasticity. Kojic acid is a compound with a cyclic structure and contains two double bonds in the molecule, which can absorb ultraviolet rays. Research has determined that kojic acid also has good sun protection properties.

As a supplier and manufacturer, we supply 98% kojic acid powder. We have our own production line and R&D quality inspection team to ensure product quality and production volume. At present, a large number of products are available from stock to ensure fast delivery of products.

Product Details Form

What are the benefits for the skin?

The formation of melanin is mainly due to tyrosinase, and Kojic Acid powder can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, can play a significant whitening effect, and will not inhibit the activity of other enzymes, so it has a good whitening and freckle removal effect. Cosmetic raw materials are widely used. In addition, it has the properties of anti-oxidation, antibacterial, chelating with metal ions, etc. It and its derivatives have been widely used in the anti-bacterial and anti-corrosion of food, anti-oxidation and color protection of meat products, aquatic products, mushrooms, fruits and vegetables.

Whitening

In human skin, tyrosine undergoes complex oxidation and polymerization with oxygen free radicals under the catalysis of tyrosinase, and finally synthesizes melanin. Kojic acid has the function of inhibiting the activity of the melanin-generating enzyme tyrosinase, and has a significant whitening effect without inhibiting other enzymes. It has good freckle removal and whitening effects. It is a commonly used cosmetic raw material and is widely used in lotions. , facial mask, lotion, skin cream, etc.

Anti-oxidation

In addition to its whitening effect, kojic acid also has free radical scavenging and antioxidant effects. It can help tighten the skin, promote protein aggregation, and help skin tighten.

Freckle removal

Freckle-removing kojic acid can inhibit the synthesis of tyrosinase, so it can strongly inhibit the formation of melanin in the skin, and will not produce white spot sequelae. Therefore, kojic acid has been formulated into essences, facial masks, lotions, and skin creams to effectively treat freckles. , age spots and chloasma products.

Inhibit the production of melanin oxidation intermediates

Kojic acid can be oxidized by the intermediate product dopaquinone, thereby reducing the chain reaction substrate and inhibiting the conversion of the melanin intermediate product from the dopaquinone form to the final melanin. Because the effect is relatively strong, a lower concentration can achieve good results. Because the effect is too strong, it may cause skin redness and contact dermatitis, so most whitening products contain relatively low amounts.

Protect skin from UV damage

Kojic acid soaps, creams, and other products contain antioxidants that have been shown to help fight free radical damage caused by exposure to UV rays and pollution. The antioxidant properties of this natural ingredient allow it to promote healthy aging and a more youthful appearance.

other

Kojic acid has properties such as antibacterial ability, antioxidant properties, and chelation with metal ions. Kojic acid and its derivatives have been widely used in foreign countries for antibacterial and antiseptic purposes in foods, including fruits and vegetables, fresh cut flowers, mushrooms, meat products, and aquatic products. Oxidation color protection. Kojic acid is also an intermediate in the production of cephalosporin antibiotics, a raw material for the production of pesticides and insecticides that are non-toxic to humans and animals, and is used as an iron analysis reagent, a film spot remover, etc.

What are the application directions?

1. Application in the field of cosmetics

It has been formulated into lotions, masks, lotions, and skin creams, and has been made into cosmetics that effectively relieve skin problems such as freckles, age spots, pigmentation, and acne. The concentration of 20ug/ml can inhibit 70-80% of the activity of various tyrosinase (or polyphenol oxidase PPO). Generally, the amount added in cosmetics is 0.5 to 2.0%

2. Food processing field

It can be used as a food additive to keep fresh, anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation. Experiments have shown that it can inhibit the conversion of sodium nitrite in bacon into carcinogenic nitrosamines, and the addition of kojic acid in food will not affect the taste, aroma and texture of food; kojic acid is also the raw material for the production of maltol and ethyl maltol. In food processing, Kojic Acid powder is widely used.

Benefit

At present, benzoic acid, sorbic acid and salts are widely used in food additives. Compared with these products, kojic acid has the following advantages:

1. Easily soluble in water, preservatives such as sorbic acid and benzoic acid need to be organically easily dissolved before they can be added to food

2. Because of its stronger and wider antibacterial effect, it is not restricted by bacteria. Sorbic acid has weak antibacterial ability and is easily inhibited by bacteria. It can only play a role if it is added in a sterile state.

3. Thermal stability, can be heated and sterilized at the same time with food, sorbic acid is easily volatilized when heated

4. PH value, PH value has no obvious effect on its antibacterial ability, sorbic acid and sodium benzoate will weaken the antibacterial ability with the increase of PH value

5. It is non-irritating to humans and can inhibit the formation of carcinogens from nitrite. Sorbic acid is irritating to human skin and eyes. The presence of nitrates may generate carcinogens.

Current status of cosmetics regulatory management

European Union

There are currently no provisions regarding kojic acid in the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

On March 17, 2022, the European Union's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) issued its final opinion on the safety of kojic acid (Kojicacid) used in cosmetics, effective from that day. SCCS considers that the maximum concentration of kojic acid in the final product for consumers using kojic acid as a skin whitening agent in cosmetics is 0.7%. This conclusion only applies to common applications of kojic acid in cosmetics.

Japan

Japan reopened regulations on the addition of kojic acid in cosmetics in 2005. Although there is no clear limit for use, the recommended dosage is between 0.1% and 2% by mass.

USA

According to information provided to the FDA by the U.S. Industry Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP), kojic acid is used in 16 products such as bath products and skin care products. In the current use concentration survey conducted by the Personal Care Products Council, the use concentration range of kojic acid The mass fraction is 0.1% to 2%, and the maximum concentration is used in face and neck creams, lotions and powders. The U.S. Cosmetic Ingredient Evaluation Committee (CIR)'s evaluation conclusion on kojic acid: Under certain conditions of use, the maximum allowable concentration of kojic acid (mass fraction 0.5%~2%) is safe.
