Expert Verdict

Limited standalone safety data. Glucoside conjugation generally improves water solubility and reduces irritation potential versus free kojic acid. A glycoside derivative of kojic acid, where glucose is conjugated to the kojyl backbone. This improves aqueous solubility compared to the lipophilic esters (isopalmitate, dipalmitate), making it suitable for water-based formulations
