INGREDIENT SPOTLIGHT: KOJIC ACID
Despite having the word ‘acid’ in the name, Kojic Acid is not an exfoliator. Naturally derived from mushrooms, Kojic Acid is a depigmenting agent that gently clarifies and evens the complexion. Instead of chemically exfoliating away the outermost layer of mottled skin - it works by suppressing melanin overproduction, the pigment responsible for skin coloration. This makes Kojic Acid an excellent choice for brightening and lightening the skin.
What is kojic Acid?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin due to an overproduction or uneven distribution of melanin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the colour of our skin, hair, and eyes. It is produced by specialised cells called melanocytes, which are located in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. There are several factors that can contribute to the development of hyperpigmentation, including; sun exposure, hormonal changes and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, caused by acne scarring etc. To address hyperpigmentation, Kojic Acid inhibits the production of melanin and accelerates its fading - for a more even skin tone.
