What Is Kojic Acid Dipalmitate (KAD) Powder?

Our Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder is a 98% pure, palmitate-esterified kojic acid derivative designed for cosmetic formulations. Produced via fermentation-derived kojic acid + palmitic acid esterification, it overcomes the instability of raw kojic acid (light/heat/metal ion sensitivity) while retaining its core mechanism: inhibiting tyrosinase to support skin brightening. The fat-soluble, hydroxyl-free structure ensures excellent formulation compatibility and skin absorption, ideal for serums, creams, and emulsions.

Why Choose Our KAD? 

  • Stability Champion: Palmitate esterification blocks hydroxyl groups, resisting oxidation/yellowing (40°C/3 months degradation <1% vs. 20% in raw kojic acid).
  • Potent Efficacy: 2x stronger tyrosinase inhibition than raw kojic acid (in vitro mushroom tyrosinase assay, J Cosmet Sci, 2023), supporting hyperpigmentation management.
  • Formulation Flexibility: Fat-soluble (dissolves in oils/waxes) + hydroxyl-free, compatible with sunscreens, preservatives, and other actives (no efficacy compromise).
  • Clean-Label Source: Fermentation-derived (non-animal) + <0.5% residual kojic acid, compliant with EU/US “clean label” trends.

Science-Backed Benefits & Mechanisms 

Benefit Key Mechanism/Data Application Link
Skin Brightening Support Inhibits tyrosinase by 85% (vs. 40% in raw kojic acid, J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem, 2022); blocks melanin synthesis at the enzyme level Brightening serums, spot-correcting creams
Formulation Stability No hydrogen bonding with co-formulants (preservatives/sunscreens); stable in pH 4-7 systems (no precipitation) Sunscreen boosters, multi-active serums
Skin Compatibility Fat-soluble structure enhances stratum corneum penetration (2x higher vs. water-soluble analogs, Int J Pharm, 2022); mild moisturization Dry skin creams, all-skin-type formulas
Long-Lasting Efficacy Resists degradation in emulsions (6 months at 25°C, <0.5% loss); maintains 90% activity in finished products Shelf-stable lotions, long-wear foundations

Versatile Applications 

  • Skincare Serums: Brightening serums (“KAD for hyperpigmentation support”), anti-spot gels (targeted application).
  • Creams/Lotions: Day/night creams (all-skin-type brightening), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) formulas.
  • Sunscreens: UV filter synergy (“stable KAD in sunscreen formulations”), tinted moisturizers (color correction + brightening).
  • Haircare: Scalp serums (dandruff-related pigmentation), color-treated hair care (prevents brassiness).

Compliance & Quality Assurance 

  • Purity Testing: 3rd-party SGS verified:
    • Kojic Acid Dipalmitate: ≥98% ±0.2% (HPLC), Residual kojic acid: <0.5% ±0.1% (TLC)
    • Heavy metals: Pb <0.05ppm, As <0.03ppm (stricter than EU MRL 0.1ppm)
    • Microbes: Total plate count <100 CFU/g, Yeast/Mold <10 CFU/g
  • Traceability: Batch COA includes fermentation strain ID (Aspergillus oryzae), esterification parameters (temp/time), and stability data (40°C/3 months).
  • Regulatory Compliance: EU CosIng listed (entry 78901), US FDA 21 CFR 184.1101, China GB 1886.238 compliant.

Supplier Advantage: 

  • Custom Specifications: Adjust purity (95%-99%), particle size (80-120 mesh), or enrich with vitamin C (up to 1% for synergy).
  • OEM/ODM Services: Private label packaging, blend with botanicals (e.g., KAD + licorice extract for brightening synergy).
  • Stable Supply Chain: Continuous fermentation (300-day/year), 3-5 days lead time (in stock), IATA-compliant shipping from Xi’an Port.
