What is Kojic Acid?
Kojic Acid is a naturally occurring compound derived from fungi, particularly during the fermentation process of rice for sake (Japanese rice wine). It is celebrated for its ability to inhibit melanin production, making it highly effective for reducing dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Kojic Acid is a gentle yet potent alternative to harsh skin-brightening agents.
Key Benefits
Improves Skin Tone: Effectively fades dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone for a radiant complexion.
Reduces Melanin Production: Inhibits tyrosinase activity, the enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis.
Improves Skin Texture: Promotes a smoother, more even skin surface.
Antioxidant Properties: Protects the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.
