THE STORY OF NANOACTIV KAD
Nanoactiv KAD: The Stable, High-Performance Brightening Ester
Nanoactiv KAD is an advanced, oil-soluble brightening ingredient derived from Kojic Acid.
It is more stable, less irritating, and more effective than pure Kojic Acid in cosmetic formulations.
KAD is widely used in brightening serums, skin-tone correctors, anti-spot creams, and luxury skincare for clear, even, radiant skin.
Esterified Kojic Acid for Maximum Stability & Superior Skin Compatibility
Nanoactiv KAD is produced by esterifying kojic acid with palmitic acid, resulting in a highly stable brightening molecule.
Key advantages of the ester form:
• Resistant to oxidation & discoloration
• Oil-soluble for smoother incorporation
• Less irritating than kojic acid
• More stable in a wide pH range
TRCkem supplies high-purity, cosmetic-grade Nanoactiv KAD for premium brightening systems.
