Kojic Acid, Lemon, Carrot and Turmeric Soap Bar

Advisory: Please apply sunscreen as Kojic acid causes more sensitivity when your skin is exposed to the sun. Kojic acid has antifungal and antimicrobial properties, which can be help reduce the intensity of breakouts and any resulting post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. As an antioxidant, kojic acid can help skin cells reverse the harmful effects of UV rays, pollution, and oxidative stress. Kojic acid inhibits and prevents the formation of tyrosine, which is an amino acid that’s needed to produce melanin. Melanin is the pigment that affects hair, skin, and eye color. Because it inhibits the production of melanin, kojic acid can have a lightening effect.
