Femme Organics Formulators Sepi White Powder - 3 Pack

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate (KAD) is a diesterified
derivative  of Kojic Acid.  It is considered to be superior to Kojic
Acid in its whitening ability and is more stable than Kojic Acid in
cosmetic formulations.

By inhibiting tyrosinase activity, Kojic Acid Dipalmitate
is capable of suppressing skin pigmentation.  Its ability to suppress
melanin formation makes it effective in whitening dark skin, or areas of
dark skin. Its effects have been boosted when used in combination with
glucosamine derivatives like N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG).

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate has good stability in heat and light, with no color change.

Benefits

• Stable from pH 3 to 10
• Does not complex with metal ions and will not change color
• Light and heat stable
• Compatible with most cosmetic ingredients.

Applications

• Sunscreens and after-sun products
• Makeup products
• Skin lightening products
• Anti-aging products
• Creams and lotions

Usage:
Mix Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder in a base cream to help eliminate the formation of dark spots and uneven skin tone.  Add no more than 6g of Kojic Acid Dipalmitate to 120 ml of base cream for maximum benefit.
Add up to 6 g to 120 ml of base cream.
Expert: Recommended for use at up to 5% in formulations. Do not
use at a stronger concentration. For best results, dissolve the powder
in a white oil (such as cosmetic grade mineral oil or paraffin liquid)
before adding to a cream or oil-based formulation. We recommend using
this ingredient in formulations with a pH range of 4-7.
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is the more stable version of Kojic acid
and will not discolour products as Koijc acid does. However, it can
still recrystallise over time. Protect from light and store in a cool,
dry location.
