In 1907, Kojic Acid was discovered by the Japanese. Around 1975, research was carried out on its whitening effects, mainly due to the observation that the hands of miso and rice wine makers appeared fair and bright. In 1988, Kojic Acid was approved as a whitening agent and it’s able to penetrate into skin more effectively.
Thanks to a unique fermentation (bio-technology) method, KOSE is able to obtain 100% pure Kojic Acid. This naturally-sourced substance has smaller molecules than general whitening agents.
Kojic Acid is incorporated in Whitelogist MX, a whitening serum under Cosme Decorte. It works side by side with another active ingredient, m-CLOSER and is delivered directly to melanocytes – the cells that produce the pigments that lead to dark spots. It goes deep into the skin to prevent dark spots and freckles, almost as if the skin absorbs it, creating a bright illuminating white complexion.
Cosme Decorte Whitelogist MX is one of the new innovative products from the brand.
