Formulating with Kojic Acid Dipalmitate
Recently I made a cream using kojic acid dipalmitate. I incorporate the kojic dipalmitate powder together with alpha arbutin and niacinamide into a lotion and cream base. Antioxidant used is BHT, sodium metabisulfite, and vitamin E acetate. Glycerin as humectant and wetting agent for the formula.
The appearance of the cream looks good however when applied on skin, it leaves flaky residue on skin. What do I need to change in the formulation to overcome the residue?
Thank you so much.

hi
you need to share the formulation at least a little otherwise it will be difficult to identify what the problem is.
Flakes can be many things recrystallized Allantoin, fett, Wax, or powder that is not 100 % dispersed. to give advice we need more information.

Hi Juhira,
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate is an oil soluble material. Thus, you need to add it into your oil phase. This might be the reason of crystallization.

After dissolving in oil, how do you prevent kojic dip from re-cryralization?
That is if am using kojic dip in body oil
