Ingredients Details
Kojic Dipalmitate
Common Name(s): Kojic acid dipalmitate,kdp,kojic acid ester
CAS Number: 79725-98-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides stable lipophilic kojic acid for deeper-penetrating brightening with improved formulation stability.
Why It's Used: Stable brightening kojic acid โ kojic dipalmitate provides effective brightening with 6+ months formulation stability vs pure kojic acid's rapid discoloration in aqueous formulations.
How It Works: Dipalmitate ester protects kojic acid's reactive 3-hydroxy-4-pyranone from oxidation. skin esterases cleave palmitate groups releasing free kojic acid for tyrosinase copper chelation. higher logp than free kojic acid provides better skin penetration. oil-phase compatible for anhydrous formulations.
Typically Found In: Brightening creams,stable lightening products,oil-phase brighteners

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Kojic dipalmitate's stability advantage (white powder, 6+ month stability vs kojic acid's rapid yellow discoloration) arises from the ester groups masking the alpha-pyranone's iron-chelating catechol-type functionality. kojic acid's discoloration results from iron complexation and oxidation of the 3-hydroxyl group โ precisely the same group that provides tyrosinase copper chelation and is protected by palmitate esterification.
