NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to announce the availability of its high-quality Kojic Acid powder (CAS 501-30-4), a versatile and potent ingredient widely sought after across various industries. Known for its remarkable properties, this white or off-white crystalline powder boasts a purity level of typically 99.0% or higher, ensuring efficacy and reliability for demanding applications.

At the forefront of Kojic Acid's applications is its significant role in the cosmetics industry. It functions as a powerful melanin-specific inhibitor. Upon entering skin cells, it complexes with copper ions, altering the structure of tyrosinase and effectively preventing its activation. This mechanism strongly inhibits the formation of skin melanin, making Kojic Acid an effective whitening active. Unlike some alternatives, it specifically targets melanin synthesis without affecting other biological enzymes, posing no toxic effect on cells. Furthermore, it can enhance intercellular glia, aiding water retention and increasing skin elasticity. These benefits have led to its widespread incorporation into high-end whitening cosmetics aimed at treating conditions like freckles, age spots, pigmentation, and acne. Effective concentrations in cosmetics typically range from 0.5% to 2.0%.

Beyond cosmetics, Kojic Acid demonstrates utility in multiple other sectors. In food processing, it serves as a valuable additive for preservation, antiseptic, and antioxidant purposes. Research indicates its ability to inhibit the conversion of NaNO2 into carcinogenic nitrosamines in smoked meats. Importantly, its addition does not compromise the taste, aroma, or texture of food. Kojic Acid is also a key raw material for the production of maltol and ethyl maltol, flavor enhancers widely used in the food industry.

The pharmaceutical field also benefits from Kojic Acid. With no mutagenic effects on eukaryotic cells and the capacity to scavenge free radicals while enhancing white blood cell vitality, it contributes positively to human health. It is utilized as a raw material in the synthesis of certain cephalosporin antibiotics, contributing to finished drugs used for pain relief and anti-inflammatory treatments.

In agriculture, Kojic Acid is employed in the production of biopesticides and as a crop growth promoter. When formulated into biological micro fertilizers and applied as a foliar spray or root enhancer, concentrations of 0.5% to 1.0% show significant yield increases in grains and vegetables. Additionally, Kojic Acid finds use in other niche areas, such as an iron analysis reagent and a film spot remover.
