Product Description

Our high-purity kojic acid (≥99%) provides a reliable cosmetic active widely used in skin-brightening formulations, hyperpigmentation treatments, serums, and dermatological research. Derived through controlled fermentation, kojic acid acts as an effective tyrosinase inhibitor, reducing melanin synthesis in topical applications. It also exhibits mild antibacterial activity, supporting cosmetic preservation systems and complexion-targeted skincare.

Supplied as a fine, off-white crystalline powder, this cosmetic-grade material dissolves readily in aqueous and alcohol-containing formulations and maintains consistent performance in emulsions, gels, and serum systems.
