Kojic acid, also known as aspergillic acid, kojic acid, is a melanin specific inhibitor, it can enter the skin cells and copper ions in the cell complexation, change the three-dimensional structure of tyrosinase, prevent tyrosinase activation, thus inhibiting the formation of melanin. Kojic acid whitening active agents have better tyrosinase inhibition effect than other whitening active agents. It does not act on other enzymes in the cell, no toxic effect on the cell, at the same time it can enter the interstitium, the formation of intercellular glia, play the role of water retention and increase the elasticity of the skin. It has been used in various cosmetics to make whitening cosmetics for freckles, age spots, hyperpigmentation and acne.
Kojic acid also has the function of scavenging free radicals, enhancing cell vitality, food preservation and color protection, and is widely used in medicine and food fields.
