Ingredients Details
Kojic Acid
Common Name(s): 5-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4-pyranone,koji acid
CAS Number: 501-30-4
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides potent copper-chelating tyrosinase inhibition for effective hyperpigmentation treatment.
Why It's Used: One of the most effective brightening agents — kojic acid's copper chelation directly blocks the tyrosinase active site providing stronger brightening than most naturally-derived alternatives.
How It Works: Chelates copper in the tyrosinase active site via the 3-hydroxy-4-pyranone chelating group (ic50 ~5μg/ml). without copper cofactor, tyrosinase cannot oxidise tyrosine to dopa or dopa to dopaquinone. inhibits both hydroxylation steps in eumelanin synthesis pathway.
Typically Found In: Brightening serums,hyperpigmentation treatments,anti-spot products

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu annex iii regulated: max 1% in face products. sensitiser potential — patch test for sensitive skin. photosensitive in formulation — requires stabilisation.

Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Kojic acid's copper chelation mechanism provides an unusually direct enzyme inhibition: rather than competing with tyrosine substrate (competitive inhibitor) or altering enzyme conformation (allosteric inhibitor), kojic acid simply removes the copper cofactor that is essential for tyrosinase catalytic activity — a metal-chelation mechanism that provides near-complete enzyme inhibition regardless of substrate concentration.
