    Glossary Kojic Acid

    natural compound from fungi used to lighten skin

    Kojic Acid is a natural compound derived from fungi, particularly Aspergillus oryzae, and is commonly used in skincare products for its skin-lightening properties. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, making it effective in treating hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and melasma.
