Kojic Acid
A 4-pyrone derivative made by several fungi, especially Aspergillus oryzae, and a by-product of the rice fermentation used for sake: it curbs pigment formation, so it is used in cosmetics for skin blemishes and to stop cut fruit from browning. This family brings together the active ingredient.
Did you know?Its name comes from koji, the Japanese name of the mould that makes it; with iron it forms a bright red complex, and dissolving iron may well be its natural function.
