Kojic Dipalmitate vs Kojic Acid: The Gentler Brightening Support
Short version: kojic dipalmitate is a fat-soluble cousin of kojic acid. It’s designed for calmer, steadier daily use and plays nicely with niacinamide and SAP vitamin C inside one cream.
What’s different?
- Feel: Dipalmitate lives in the oil phase, which often feels smoother on skin.
- Layering: It pairs well with barrier-friendly niacinamide and SAP (a daylight-friendly vitamin C derivative).
- Everyday use: Built for steady routines rather than shock treatments.
How to use (no drama)
- Cleanse → optional toner.
- Press a half-pea of cream—don’t rub.
- Wait 60s, then SPF/makeup.
