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 โ 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 ~5ฮผg/ml). without copper cofactor, tyrosinase cannot oxidise tyrosine to dopa or dopa to dopaquinone. inhibits both hydroxylation steps in eumelanin synthesis pathway.

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 โ a metal-chelation mechanism that provides near-complete enzyme inhibition regardless of substrate concentration.
