Kojic Acid (Skin Lightening)

Kojic Acid is a naturally derived skin-brightening ingredient used to help reduce the appearance of dark spots, age spots, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Sourced through the fermentation of rice or fungi, it’s a trusted addition in many cosmetic formulations aimed at promoting a radiant, balanced complexion. Gentle yet effective, Kojic Acid works by inhibiting melanin production, making it ideal for DIY skincare blends such as serums, creams, masks, and spot treatments. It pairs well with ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and alpha arbutin to support even skin tone and enhance glow.

Benefits:

• Helps brighten skin and fade pigmentation
• Reduces the appearance of dark spots and sun damage
• Supports a more even, radiant complexion
• Gentle on skin when used at the recommended dosage
• Popular in serums, masks, creams, and lotions

How to Use: Dissolve Kojic Acid in warm water before incorporating into the cool-down phase of your formulation. Best used in water-based products at a concentration of 1–3%. Always perform a patch test before full application.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture.
