Article Synopsis
- Kojic acid is a natural compound used for skin-lightening and preventing browning, but it can degrade easily, reducing its effectiveness.
- Researchers created stable polymer systems using Kojic acid combined with natural acids to prevent degradation and enhance performance.
- The resulting polymers not only release more effective forms of Kojic acid but also show lower toxicity and better melanin-inhibiting properties, making them suitable for sustained use in skincare products.
