KOJIE SAN SKIN LIGHTENING KOJIC ACID SOAP - 65G

Key considerations for use

• Sun protection is crucial: Kojic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is non-negotiable to prevent further pigmentation and sun damage.
• Risk of irritation: As a potent ingredient, kojic acid can cause irritation, redness, or dryness, especially for those with sensitive skin. It is best to start using the product a few times a week to assess your skin's tolerance.
• Be patient: Results from kojic acid soap are not instant. Consistent and patient use over several weeks to months is necessary to see noticeable improvements in skin tone and dark spots

 Common additive ingredients  often include additional ingredients for extra skin benefits, which can include: 

• Essential Oils: Tea tree oil is a common addition for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, while other oils can be added for fragrance.
• Natural Extracts: Some formulations use fruit extracts like papaya or other plant extracts like licorice root and turmeric for additional brightening and soothing effects.
• Vitamins: Antioxidants such as Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and Vitamin E (tocopherol) are frequently added to provide extra protection against environmental stressors.
• Exfoliating Acids: Some brands combine kojic acid with other exfoliating agents like glycolic acid or salicylic acid for a stronger effect.
• Emollients: Ingredients like shea butter, olive oil, and mineral oil may be included to increase the soap's moisturizing properties.
• Colorants: The yellow or orange color of many kojic acid soaps comes from cosmetic-grade colorants.
