It is present in the joints, skin, umbilical cord, eye and in the extracellular space of human tissue. It has an outstanding ability to retain moisture and has a high viscoelasticity & lubricity. It has natural anti-oxidant properties. It is able to retain more water than any other substance found to date that keeps the skin and other tissues hydrated. This in turn keeps the cells from dying and maintains their ability to absorb nutrients more effectively & eliminate toxins. kojic acid is a tyrosinase inhibitor and is used as a skin lightener. It is produced from a fungus and is stable under most conditions. It produces excellent effects even in toning the skin and reduces age spots, pregnancy marks, and freckles.
