Kojic acid (KA) has emerged as a prominent tyrosinase inhibitor with considerable potential
in cosmetic applications; however, its susceptibility to instability during storage poses a …

This article reviews the use of Kojic Acid (KA) as a skin-lightening ingredient in the
cosmetics industry. In 1907, Saito discovered KA, a natural product; it has since become one …

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme for melanin biosynthesis, catalyzing the oxidation of L-tyrosine
to L-dopaquinone. The tyrosinase inhibition is an effective approach to control …

Tyrosinase inhibitors have become increasingly important targets for hyperpigmentation
disease treatment. Kojic monooleate (KMO), synthesized from the esterification of kojic acid …

Skin color disorders can be caused by various factors, such as excessive exposure to
sunlight, aging and hormonal imbalance during pregnancy, or taking some medications …

Introduction Kojic monooleate (KMO) is an ester derived from a fungal metabolite of kojic
acid with monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid, which contains tyrosinase inhibitor to treat …

Melasma is a hard-to-treat hyperpigmentation disorder. Combined incorporation of kojic
