Kojic acid, also known as kojic acid and kojic acid, is an organic acid with antibacterial effect produced by aerobic fermentation of glucose by Aspergillus
candida at 30-32°C. Its molecular structure is a γ-pyrone with a substituent. Among the γ-pyrone compounds existing in nature, the only famous
compounds are kojic acid and maltol.
Kojic acid is a tyrosinase inhibitor, which can preemptively combine with the copper ions in tyrosinase, making the copper ions ineffective, and then
inhibiting the synthesis of dopachrome.
Kojic acid can inhibit the polymerization of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and the activity of DHICA oxidase.
Cosmetics with kojic acid have the functions of skin care, moisturizing, whitening, brightening, sun protection, and freckle removal. The dosage forms
