In our reference data, Kojic Dipalmitate can feed Malassezia (fungal acne).
Kojic Dipalmitate is a more stable, lipid-soluble ester derivative of kojic acid used to inhibit tyrosinase and reduce melanin production, helping to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. It is generally better tolerated and less prone to oxidation than kojic acid itself.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild skin irritation or stinging | Uncommon | More likely at higher concentrations or on sensitive skin. |
Erythema (redness) | Uncommon | Usually transient and resolves with discontinuation. |
Contact dermatitis | Rare | Less common than with free kojic acid due to lower sensitizing potential. |
Allergic contact sensitization | Rare | Reported infrequently; patch testing advised for reactive skin. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
