PromaCare-KDP / Kojic Dipalmitate

Short Description:

PromaCare-KDP offers more efficacious skin lightening effects. Compared with kojic acid, PromaCare-KDP markedly enhances the inhibiting effects on tyrosinase activity, which prohibits the formation of melanin. Overcoming the instability of kojic acid to light, heat and metal ion,while maintaining inhibition on tyrosinase activity, blocking production of melanin more effectively than kojic acid, and more stable, Efficient whitening agent for skin lightening formulations.

Application

PromaCare KDP overcomes the defects which kojic acid usually has, such as the unstability to light and heat, and the color variation caused by formation of complexes with metallic ions. PromaCare KDP can preserve or promote the restraining power of kojic acid against tyrosinase activity TRP-1 activity, as well as delaying the melanogenesis.Characteristics:

1) Skin Lightening

PromaCare KDP offers more efficacious skin lightening effects. Compared with kojic acid, PromaCare KDP markedly enhances the inhibiting effects on tyrosinase activity, which prohibits the formation of melanin.

2) Light and Heat Stability

PromaCare KDP is light and heat stable, while kojic acid tends to oxidize over time.

3) Color Stability

Unlike kojic acid, PromaCare KDP does not turn brown or yellow over time for two reasons. First, kojic acid is not stable to light and heat, and tends to oxidize, which results in color change (often yellow or brown). Second, kojic acid tends to chelate with metal ions (e.g. iron), which often results in color change. On the contrary, PromaCare KDP is stable to pH, light, heat and oxidation, and does not complex with metal ions, which lead to color stability.

Application:

Skin care, sun care, skin whitening/lightening, treatment for pigmentary disorders such as age spots etc.

It dissolves in hot alcohols, white oils and esters.
