Kojic acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice, for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine. It is a fungal metabolite commonly produced by many species of Aspergillus, Acetobacter and Penicillium, and has been shown to act as a competitive and reversible inhibitor of animal and plant polyphenol oxidases, that catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. Kojic acid inhibits melanosis by interfering with the uptake of oxygen required for enzymatic browning. the production of melanin does not occur in fixed amounts. The production is increased in response to environmental or internal conditions such as sun exposure (causing the skin to tan), inflammations (common among acne sufferers), and pregnancy. Repeated exposure to the sun can result in a permanent increase in melanin production in spots on the skin, causing small freckles and larger sun or age spots to form. And here is where the Kojic acid comes in handy. PAPAYA KOJIC LOTION: Deep &long lasting moisture with vitamin E, PAPAYA concentration, and kojic acid technology. SPF 60 PA +++
