Pure Kojic outlets Acid Powder, Water Soluble, Skin Care, DIY Creams/Lotion/Soaps, 7 oz / 200 g

Kojic acid is a chelation agent produced by several species of fungi, especially Aspergillus oryzae, which has the Japanese common name koji. Kojic acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice, for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine. It is a mild inhibitor of the formation of pigment in plant and animal tissues, and is used in food and cosmetics to preserve or change colors of substances.

Kojic acid might help to lighten visible sun damage, age spots, or scars. This may result in an anti-aging effect on the skin.

Be aware that Kojic acid and Kojic acid Dipalmitate are two different ingredients,
their physical and chemicals properties differ.

Kojic acid is not stable to light and heat and tends to oxidize, which results in color change, often yellow or brown.
