Kojic Acid Powder

VEHERA Kojic Acid Powder is a powerful, natural skin-lightening agent derived from the fermentation of rice by Aspergillus oryzae—the fungus used in Japanese sake production. This 100% pure, organic powder gently fades dark patches by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, making it an effective alternative to chemical lighteners like hydroquinone.
