ferment, including Japanese sae, soy sauce, and rice wine. Kojic acid inhibits and prevents the
formation of tyrosine, which is an amino acid that’s needed to produce melanin. Melanin is the
pigment that affects hair, skin, and eye colour. Because it inhibits the productions of melanin,
kojic acid can have a lightening effect. Sometimes used in the food industry as a natural
preservative. One of the main used of kojic soap, however, is in some health and cosmetic
products. Used in health and beauty products to lighten the skin. It may be used to treat skin
conditions, such as sun damage, scars, and age spots. Works by blocking tyrosine from forming,
which then prevents melanin productions. Decreased melanin production may have a lightening
effect on the skin.
