The Highly Efficient and Stable Whitening Agent
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate (KAD) is an efficient, new generation whitening agent that effectively suppresses the activity of tyrosinase and blocks or delays the formation of melanin. Its esterification with palmitic acid significantly reduces its sensitivity to light and heat, making it less prone to yellowing due to oxidation.

| Question | Answer |
| What is Kojic Dipalmitate and what are its primary benefits in skincare? | Kojic Dipalmitate is a modified, highly stable diester derivative of kojic acid, renowned for its exceptional skin-brightening and hyperpigmentation-reducing properties. It effectively inhibits tyrosinase activity to fade dark spots and even out skin tone without the instability issues of raw kojic acid. Shaanxi Huatai manufactures high purity Kojic Dipalmitate to help cosmetic brands develop advanced whitening and anti-aging formulations. |
| What is the purity and appearance of your Kojic Dipalmitate raw material? | Quality is our top priority at our manufacturing facility. Shaanxi Huatai supplies cosmetic grade Kojic Dipalmitate with a guaranteed high purity standard of over 98 percent. Our product appears as a fine white to off-white crystalline powder, ensuring maximum biological activity, safety, and formulation compatibility for your high-end cosmetic lines. |
| Is your Kojic Dipalmitate water soluble, and how should it be formulated? | Kojic Dipalmitate is oil-soluble and insoluble in water. The technical formulation team at Shaanxi Huatai recommends dissolving it in the heated oil phase or lipid components of your cosmetic emulsions, creams, and lotions during processing to ensure a stable, homogeneous final product. |
| What is the recommended usage rate for Kojic Dipalmitate in cosmetic products? | For daily skin-brightening creams, anti-spot lotions, and radiance serums, the recommended usage rate typically ranges from 1.0 to 5.0 percent. For specialized intensive spot-correcting treatments, it can be utilized up to 5.0 percent. The technical formulation experts at Shaanxi Huatai can provide precise dosage guidelines tailored to your project. |
| Why is Kojic Dipalmitate preferred over standard Kojic Acid in cosmetic formulations? | Unlike standard kojic acid, which easily turns yellow when exposed to light, heat, or metal ions, Kojic Dipalmitate offers superior chemical stability, resists discoloration, and exhibits better skin penetration. Shaanxi Huatai provides high purity active ingredients ideal for crafting long-lasting, stable brightening products. |
| Can Kojic Dipalmitate be combined with other active ingredients like Niacinamide, Vitamin C, or Alpha Arbutin? | Absolutely. Kojic Dipalmitate works synergistically with a wide range of brightening and antioxidant actives. The formulation team at Shaanxi Huatai frequently assists clients in combining our Kojic Dipalmitate with Niacinamide, Vitamin C, or Alpha Arbutin to create comprehensive, multi-pathway radiance complexes. |
| Do you provide the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and MSDS for wholesale bulk orders? | Absolute regulatory compliance and strict quality control are our core manufacturing standards. Shaanxi Huatai provides comprehensive, batch-specific documentation for every wholesale shipment, including the Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and detailed HPLC purity testing reports. |
| What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and are testing samples available? | To support independent cosmetic formulation labs and commercial manufacturing facilities alike, Shaanxi Huatai offers a highly accessible MOQ starting at just 1kg. We also gladly provide 10g to 50g free testing samples so your research team can thoroughly evaluate formulation compatibility before ordering in bulk. |
