Description

Kojic acid dipalmitate (CAS 79725-98-7 ), commonly abbreviated as KAD, is a lipophilic ester derivative of kojic acid used primarily as a skin-brightening and antioxidant active in cosmetic formulations. Unlike its parent compound, KAD offers enhanced oil-solubility and improved stability, making it suitable for incorporation into anhydrous and emulsion-based systems. In personal care, KAD functions as a tyrosinase inhibitor incorporated into serums, creams, and sunscreens targeting uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation. Its oil-compatible profile allows formulators to load it into lipid-rich vehicles such as facial oils, balms, and color cosmetics without the stability concerns associated with kojic acid. In plastics and polymer processing, KAD is evaluated as a stabilizing additive to limit oxidative degradation during compounding for various industrial applications. Lubricant formulators have also explored it as a functional additive where antioxidant protection of the base oil is a critical formulation requirement for performance. Kojic acid dipalmitate is supplied as a white to off-white powder or waxy solid. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification, the standard form demanded by personal care manufacturers. Bulk quantities are typically offered in kilogram and metric ton packaging, with technical-grade material available for industrial applications and large scale manufacturing needs.
