Kojic acid
Name: Kojic acid
Feature:
Kojic 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 tyrosinase and reduce the production of melanin
Kojic acid can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase in the human body, thereby controlling the pigmentation of the skin. It is a special ingredient in the current whitening and freckle cosmetics. However, using too much kojic acid can cause white spots and irritation on the skin. . Kojic acid is a skin conditioner, antioxidant, and freckle agent. 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. Therefore, Kojic acid has been formulated into lotions, facial masks, lotions and skin creams to effectively treat freckles and the elderly. High-end whitening cosmetics for spots, pigmentation, acne, etc. Kojic acid at a concentration of 20ug/ml can inhibit 70-80% of the activity of a variety of tyrosinase, and the general addition amount in cosmetics is 0.5-2.0%.
