Kojic Dipalmitate

INCI Kojic Dipalmitate

Brightening Active Active Ingredients

What it is & what it does

Kojic Dipalmitate is a lipid-soluble ester derivative of kojic acid developed for improved formulation stability and skin compatibility.
It is used as a brightening active because it targets tyrosinase-related melanin pathways. Published topical delivery studies support pigmentation-reducing activity, though the evidence base is smaller than for classic kojic acid itself.

Usage & cautions

Use sunscreen consistently in pigmentation routines; stop or reduce use if irritation occurs.
Information approach Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
