Kojic Acid is a highly effective ingredient for skin brightening and treating hyperpigmentation, but achieving optimal results requires careful formulation. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM Co., Ltd. offers premium Kojic Acid and shares key insights for formulators looking to harness its full potential.

The efficacy of Kojic Acid is primarily attributed to its role as a tyrosinase inhibitor, crucial for reducing melanin production and thus fading dark spots and uneven skin tone. To ensure this efficacy, formulators must pay close attention to stability. Kojic Acid is sensitive to heat and pH, generally performing best in formulations with a pH between 4.0 and 5.0 and when processed at moderate temperatures. Incorporating it into the water phase of a formulation is a standard practice.

To further enhance the stability and shelf-life of Kojic Acid in finished products, the addition of antioxidants like Vitamin E or BHT is often recommended. These help prevent oxidation, which can degrade the ingredient. Typical usage concentrations for Kojic Acid in cosmetic products range from 1% to 3%, though up to 4% may be used in leave-on products. It is important to note that higher concentrations may increase the risk of skin sensitivity, necessitating thorough testing.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM Co., Ltd. provides Kojic Acid that meets stringent quality standards, ensuring a pure and consistent ingredient for your formulations. Whether creating serums, creams, or lotions, understanding these formulation principles is key to delivering effective products that address hyperpigmentation and promote brighter skin. It is also vital to educate end-users on the importance of sun protection when using Kojic Acid products, as it can increase photosensitivity.
