Details:

Kojic acid is found in koji, which is what people eat and is safe to use. In recent years, a large number of patent documents have reported the application of kojic acid in cosmetics. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in the production of melanin. Kojic acid can chelate copper with tyrosinase to inactivate it, which is the basis of its whitening effect. The results of clinical and application tests show that kojic acid has a strong inhibitory effect on melanin production in human skin, and is safe, non-toxic, and will not cause sequelae of leukoplakia. Kojic acid and other preparations (such as SOD, placenta extract, amino acid, sunscreen and various plant extracts, etc.) have a better effect. Kojic acid is mainly used in skin whitening products, anti-aging products, sunscreen products, whitening facial cleanser and beauty cosmetics. Kojic acid has certain antibacterial activity. Gram-negative bacteria are more sensitive to sodium kojate than gram-positive bacteria, while the opposite is true for most other antimicrobial substances. The antibacterial effect of kojic acid is much lower than that of other antibacterial substances, and its antibacterial activity is bacteriostatic rather than bactericidal. Kojic acid is ineffective against yeast, viruses and bacteriophages.
