It is a pyranone that is 4H-pyran substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5, a hydroxymethyl group at position 2, and an oxo group at position 4. Kojic acid exhibits skin-lightening properties due to its ability to chelate the copper-containing enzyme tyrosinase in the formation of melanin. It is also commonly used as a whitening agent in regular cosmetics, bleaching cosmetics, and as a therapeutic agent to prevent pigmentation.
