“…The approved and permitted maximum concentration of kojic acid (1) in cosmetic products, e.g., powders, serums, creams, cleansers, and soaps, is 1%. Some products, like soaps and cleansers, are meant to be washed off immediately, but others, like creams and serums, are formulated to be left on and absorbed into the skin [21][22][23][24]. Products containing kojic acid (1) are frequently used on the face and hands, but can be applied on all non-sensitive areas of the body.…”
