Expert Verdict
Strong crystallinity can cause formulation instability (crystal precipitation over time). Requires stabilizers such as mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL) for dosage-form stability. A cinnamate ester of kojic acid combining the melanin-inhibiting action of kojic acid with the UV-absorbing properties of methylenedioxycinnamate. Demonstrates anti-aging, whitening, and antioxidant effects. Recommended use level 0.05-0.25% w/w
