Kojic acid dipalmitate, a chemical with the formula C38H66O6, is a white powder or needle-like crystal used primarily in cosmetics.
As a fat-soluble derivative of kojic acid, it not only overcomes the shortcomings of kojic acid's instability to light and heat and discoloration in the presence of metal ions, but also because there is no hydroxyl group in its molecular structure, it will not form hydrogen bonds with preservatives, sunscreen or other active ingredients in the cosmetic system and affect the efficacy of these additives, with excellent compound performance.
