Kojic acid dipalmitate powder is an improved kojic acid derivative that overcomes the kojic acid's instability of light, heat and metal ions while maintaining the inhibition of tyrosinase activity of kojic acid and the blocking of melanin formation in the skin The effect, and this inhibition is more intense than kojic acid, making it a new generation of highly effective whitening active agent. As a fat-soluble whitening active agent, kojic dipalmitate powder can be more effectively absorbed by the skin and at the same time brings good moisturization to the skin in addition to being easier to formulate.
Kojic acid dipalmitate is a modified kojic acid derivative, which overcomes the instability of kojic acid to light, heat and metal ions, and maintains the effect of inhibiting tyrosinase activity and blocking skin melanin formation, and this inhibition is stronger than kojic acid, making it a new generation of efficient whitening active agent. Kojic acid dipalmitate as a fat-soluble whitening active agent, in addition to easier formulation, can be more effectively absorbed by the skin, while bringing good moisturizing effect to the skin.
Kojic acid is a kind of specialized inhibitor for melanin. It can prevent the tyrosinase activity through synthesizing with copper ion in the cells after it enters skin cells.
Kojic acid and its derivative has better inhibitory effect on tyrosinase than any other skin whitening agents. At present it is assigned into various kinds of cosmetics for curing freckles, spots on the skin of old man, pigmentation and acne. Kojic acid can also eliminate free radical, strengthen cell activity of cell and keep the food fresh. It is widely used in the fields of medicine and food.
Product Application
(1) Applied in the field of cosmetics. Kojic acid has been incorporated into make-up water, facial mask, lotion and skin cream to make whitening cosmetics that can effectively treat freckles, senile plaques, pigmentation, acne and so on.
(2) Kojic acidis the raw material for the production of maltol and ethyl maltol.
(3) In the field of medicine, Therefore, kojic acid has been used as the raw material of cephalosporin antibiotics.
(4) In the field of agriculture, kojic acid can be used to produce biological pesticides. with growth and yield increasing agent
(5) In other fields, kojic acid can also be used as iron analysis reagent, film speckle remover, etc.
