Kojic acid
Product Detail
Name: Kojic acid
Feature:
Kojic acid, also known as aspergillic acid, is a melanin-specific inhibitor. After entering skin cells, it can complex with copper ions in the cells, change the three-dimensional structure of tyrosinase, prevent the activation of tyrosinase, and thereby inhibit The formation of melanin. Kojic acid whitening active agents have a better tyrosinase inhibitory effect than other whitening active agents. It does not act on other biological enzymes in the cell, and has no toxic effect on the cell. At the same time, it can enter the intercellular substance to form the intercellular glial, which plays a role in retaining water and increasing skin elasticity. It has been formulated into various cosmetics to make whitening cosmetics for freckles, age spots, pigmentation and acne. Kojic acid also has the functions of scavenging free radicals, enhancing cell viability, food preservation and color protection, and is widely used in the fields of medicine and food.
Kojic acid has the following applications/functions:
Inhibit melanin，inhibit tyrosinase activity in the human body
1. In human skin, tyrosine undergoes complex oxidation and polymerization with oxygen free radicals under the catalysis of tyrosinase, and finally synthesizes melanin. Kojic acid can inhibit the synthesis of tyrosinase, so it can strongly inhibit the formation of melanin in the skin. It is safe and non-toxic, and does not produce sequelae of leukoplakia. Therefore, Kojic acid has been formulated into lotions, facial masks, lotions, and skin creams. It becomes a high-end whitening cosmetic that can effectively treat freckles, age spots, pigmentation, acne, etc. Food processing field. Kojic acid can be used as a food additive to play a role in preservation, antiseptic and anti-oxidation. Experiments have shown that kojic acid can inhibit the conversion of sodium nitrite in bacon to carcinogenic nitrosamines, and the addition of kojic acid to food will not affect the taste, aroma and texture of food; kojic acid is also the production of maltol and ethyl maltol As raw materials, kojic acid is widely used in food processing. The medical field. Since kojic acid has no mutagenic effect on eukaryotic cells, it can eliminate free radicals in the human body and enhance white blood cell motility, which is beneficial to human health. Therefore, kojic acid has been used as a raw material for cephalosporin antibiotics, and the finished drug produced is used for treatment The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects are ideal for headaches, toothaches and local inflammations.
2. Kojic acid can inhibit tyrosinase activity in the human body, thereby controlling skin pigmentation. Kojic acid is used as a whitening agent in the cosmetics industry, and can also play a role in preserving and moisturizing. Kojic acid and its derivatives such as acetate have certain antibacterial properties, no one-time irritation and cumulative irritation to the skin, and can be used as a preservative for cosmetics and food. It can strongly absorb ultraviolet rays, and can be used alone or in combination with various sunscreen products such as soap. Helps maintain humidity and reduce skin wrinkles. Adding to hair products can eliminate dandruff, it is a special effect ingredient in current whitening and freckle cosmetics.
