Cosmate® KA, a revolutionary skincare ingredient powered by Kojic Acid (KA). Naturally derived from fungi, Kojic acid has a remarkable ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity, which is essential for melanin synthesis. Kojic acid interacts with copper ions within skin cells to effectively prevent and reduce pigmentation. Kojic acid and its potent derivatives go beyond traditional skin brighteners to deliver superior results. Kojic acid is now widely used in a variety of cosmetic formulations targeting freckles, age spots and pigmentation issues.
