Description
Kojic acid is a specific melanin inhibitor produced through modern biological fermentation. It appears as white needle crystals or powder with a purity of not less than 99%. The molecular formula is C6H6O4, with CAS number 501-30-4. The product is easily soluble in water, simplifying its incorporation into aqueous cosmetic formulations. It is important to note that kojic acid is known for its sensitivity to light and heat, as well as its tendency to discolor in the presence of metal ions. Purchasers should consider these characteristics when planning storage and usage. ISO, Halal, and Kosher certifications confirm adherence to international quality and safety standards.
