Kojic Acid Dipalmitate (Powder)

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder — Oil-Soluble Skin Brightening Active

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is the oil-soluble, esterified form of Kojic Acid — more stable, gentler, and easier to formulate into oil-based and emulsion products. It delivers the same melanin-inhibiting benefits as plain Kojic Acid but with superior photostability and skin compatibility, making it ideal for leave-on creams, lotions, and oil-phase formulations.

A preferred choice for formulators who want effective brightening without the stability challenges of plain Kojic Acid.
