Product Description
What Is Kojic Acid Dipalmitate?
Kojic Acid An ester of kojic and palmitic acids, dipalmitate is frequently used in cosmetic compositions to lighten and prevent aging of the skin. It is a stable derivative of kojic acid, offering enhanced stability and reduced irritation compared to the original compound.
Synthesis: Acid Kojic Dipalmitate is created by esterifying palmitic acid with kojic acid. When a catalyst is present, kojic acid and palmitic acid are usually mixed. The ester is then separated by heating and filtration. This results in a waxy, white solid that is more stable in formulations than kojic acid alone.
Because it prevents melanin synthesis, it is frequently found in skin-brightening treatments including lotions, serums, and creams. This helps to lighten dark spots and lessen hyperpigmentation.

User Asked Question:
Q: What distinguishes ordinary Kojic Acid from Kojic Acid Dipalmitate?
A: Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is a more stable ester form of Kojic Acid, offering improved stability and reduced irritation compared to regular Kojic Acid. Its lipophilic nature makes it more suitable for use in cosmetic formulations, providing long-term benefits with minimal skin irritation. It works best on delicate skin and gradually becomes softer.
