My Skin Origins Organics Kojic Plus

Whitening products are all over the supermarket nowadays, ranging from lotion to soap to facial creams. Aside from wide array of choices, the prices of these products are now affordable unlike before. One of the common ingredient of these whitening products is Kojic Acid.

What is Kojic Acid?

Kojic acid is a fine white powdery substance composed of tiny crystals. The formal discovery of kojic acid occurred in 1989, and since then, the substance has been used widely in skin care products due to its numerous benefits. The ingredient is obtained from mushrooms that are native to Japan and is a by-product of the fermentation process used to produce the alcoholic beverage sake.

Kojic acid is also an antibacterial agent, meaning that it interferes with the processes that bacteria cells must perform to thrive and reproduce. By disrupting these processes, kojic acid causes the death of bacteria. Some dermatologists recommend the use of mild concentrations of kojic acid for addressing acne blemishes, which are often caused by bacterial infections in the pores.

One of my favorite local brands, My Skin Origins released a new beauty soap, the Organic Kojic Plus Beauty Bar. Unlike their other beauty bars which can only be purchased at their store located at Door 2, #93 Jacinto Street, Davao City, Kojic Plus is available at Gaisano Grand Supermarkets ( Davao Ilustre, Panabo City, Tagum City, Digos City ad Kidapawan City ).

Benefits of using products with Kojic Acid

- reduces freckles
- reduces melasma
- prevents signs of aging
- may reduce acne
- may reduce acne scars


Aside from Kojic Acid, it also contains Coconut oil, High Grade Vitamin C and Glutathione.

Coconut oil gives the skin a healthy smooth and even tone. It is able to penetrate on your skin on a deeper level because of its saturated fats that helps skin stay moisturized, the fat prevents moisture loss through the skin's pores.

Whereas Glutathione is typically used for skin whitening. Glutathione is an antioxidant made from glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine.It works to clear the body of free radicals and toxins that can lead to serious skin problems like sun spots, melasma and hyperpigmentation.Also it has beneficial effects for women who have acne but it won't help hormone related acne since Glutathione does not affect hormone levels in the body.
