Usage: Kojic acid palmitate is an improved derivative of Kojic acid. It overcomes the instability of Kojic acid to light, heat, and metal ions, while maintaining its ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity and block skin melanin formation. Moreover, this inhibition is stronger than Kojic acid, making it a new generation of highly effective whitening agents.
The chemical properties of quercetin dipalmitate are stable and will not cause yellowing due to oxidation, metal ions, light exposure, and heating. Due to the absence of hydroxyl groups in its molecular structure The base group, therefore, does not form hydrogen bonds with preservatives, sunscreens, or other whitening active ingredients added to the cosmetic system, which affects the efficacy of these additives and has excellent compounding properties. As a fat soluble whitening active agent, quercetin dipalmitate is not only easier to formulate, but also more effectively absorbed by the skin, while bringing good moisturizing effects to the skin.
