Source 99% Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder is an advanced, lipid-soluble derivative of kojic acid used in countless premium skincare formulations worldwide.
As a diesterified derivative formed by esterifying the two hydroxyl groups of kojic acid with palmitic acid, this compound has become the industry’s answer to one of formulation’s greatest challenges: stabilizing the powerful skin-brightening effects of kojic acid while eliminating its notorious instability, discoloration, and potential for irritation.
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is stable within a wide pH range of 4-9, providing unprecedented formulation flexibility. It is soluble in oil and alcohol but not in water, making it ideal for emulsions, serums, creams, and anhydrous formulations where traditional kojic acid struggles.
KAD overcomes the light, heat, and metal ion instability that has long plagued kojic acid, offering formulators a truly premium, reliable active ingredient.

FAQs About Our Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder
What is Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder used for?
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder is a lipid-soluble derivative of kojic acid used as the active ingredient in premium skin-brightening formulations to reduce hyperpigmentation, fade dark spots and melasma, even skin tone, and prevent melanin formation. It is a diesterified derivative that offers superior stability, enhanced skin absorption, and reduced irritation compared to kojic acid.
What is the difference between Kojic Acid and Kojic Acid Dipalmitate?
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is the diesterified derivative of kojic acid formed by esterifying the two hydroxyl groups with palmitic acid. This chemical modification makes KAD oil-soluble rather than water-soluble, light- and heat-stable. At the same time, le kojic acid oxidizes over time, remains stable within a wide pH range of 4-9, and is less irritating to the skin. KAD is easily absorbed through the skin and is more effective than kojic acid.
What purity level do you guarantee for Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder?
We guarantee ≥98.0% purity (HPLC-verified), meeting and exceeding USP, EP, CP, and JP standards. Every batch is tested for identity, purity, melting point (94.0–98.0°C), and quality parameters in accordance with pharmaceutical industry standards.
What is the recommended usage level of Kojic Acid Dipalmitate?
Standard formulations typically contain 1-5% KAD. Advanced delivery systems (nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, ethosomes) can achieve comparable efficacy at lower concentrations (0.1-0.2%) due to enhanced bioavailability. Anhydrous creams typically contain 0.4-4.0%.
What is the solubility and storage profile of Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder?
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is a white to almost white powder or crystals that are soluble in alcohol and oils. It should be stored at room temperature in a cool, dark place (<15°C) in a sealed container. It is stable over a wide pH range of 4-9 and is light- and heat-stable.
Is Kojic Acid Dipalmitate FDA-approved?
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is listed in the FDA’s ingredient database and is approved for use in cosmetic products across multiple regions, including North America and Europe. It is recognized by the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients).
What are the key market trends for Kojic Acid Dipalmitate?
Key trends include increased consumer demand for stable skin-brightening actives, regulatory-driven reformulation away from hydroquinone and kojic acid, rising adoption of advanced delivery systems (nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, ethosomes), premiumization of skincare, and Asia Pacific leading market growth at 42.3% share.
Can you supply Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder for compounding pharmacy applications?
Yes. We supply Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Powder in quantities suitable for compounding pharmacies. Our powder can be used to formulate patient-specific topical preparations for hyperpigmentation disorders.
