Kojic Acid can address multiple body pigmentation concerns minimizing the appearance of dark spot pigmentation in the underarm region OR anywhere you see pigmentation forming on your body. This easy-to-use bar ensures that you stay consistent with your pigmentation efforts as it stays in your shower to remind you to wash the affected area daily.

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate (a more stable form of kojic acid that does not oxidize). It works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for melanin production and with consistent use will brighten the affected area.   

 Can be used on dark spot pigmentation

  • Underarms 

  • Elbows & Knees 

  • Inner Thighs 

  • Buttocks

Also can be used on pigmentation from: 

  • Ingrown Hairs 

  • Insect Bites 

  • Bacne (Back Acne) Scars 

  • Chest Acne Scars 

  • Buttocks Blemishes  

Use the kojic acid brightening bar daily in the shower. Moisten the bar and apply the lather to affected areas with hands, or silicone exfoliating brush. Massage for 30 seconds to allow the actives to penetrate the area before rinsing off. Not suggested for use on your entire face. Spot treatment, the affected area only.

FAQ's

The longer the pigmentation has been present, the longer it will take to see significant improvement. Customers have reported seeing initial results within the first couple weeks, with more significant results within 4-6 weeks. 

Use both steps (the kojic acid brightening bar and niacinamide brightening deodorant) for faster underarm brightening results

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a result of irritation. Brightening treatments will be unsuccessful until underlying cause of inflammation has been addressed. 

We recommend implementing the following tips: 

  • Shaving is the #1 cause due to irritation. Use a shave oil, shave at night and don’t apply anything to the area for 12-24 hours following shaving. 
  • Avoid irritating underarm products that contain ingredients such as baking soda, aluminum or high levels of fragrance 
  • Reduce chafing and friction in affected area, including chafing from tight, non-breathable clothing materials 

Kojic acid is a a naturally occuring chemical produced from different types of fungi and is a byproduct of fermented foods such as Japanese sake (rice wine). 

What it does: 

  • Prevents dark spot formation and brightens skin that has been affected by post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation 
  • Anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties may help prevent certain skin conditions 
  • Antioxidant protection from free radicals caused by UV damage and pollution 
  • Has anti-inflammatory properties  

Our kojic acid brightening bar uses kojic acid dipalmitate. 

Kojic dipalmitate is a derivative of kojic acid. It is considered to be the more superior form of kojic acid as it is more stable and is recommended by dermatologists for sensitive and skin of color. 

Kojic acid is a tyrosine inhibitor. It blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for developing melanin, thus preventing the overproduction of melanin, giving the skin a brightening effect. 

Our kojic acid brightening bar works to prevent the overproduction of melanin and gradually minimizes dark spot pigmentation. 

Studies have found kojic acid to be both safe and effective at formulations less than 1%. Both the FDA and Health Canada regulate kojic acid within this limit.  

It is considered much safer and a better option for treating dark spots compared to aggressive and toxic ingredients such as hydroquinone 

The kojic acid brightening bar is formulated within this limit and is dermatologist tested and non-irritating. 

The kojic acid brightening bar can be safely used on dark spot pigmentation found on the:​ 

  • Underarms*​ 
  • Dark elbows & Knees​ 
  • Dark Inner Thighs​ 
  • Buttocks 
  • Hands (to address age/liver spots) 

 
It can also be used on dark spots and blemish marks left behind from:​ 

  • Ingrown Hairs​ 
  • Bacne (Back Acne) Scars​ 
  • Chest Acne Scars​ 
  • Buttocks Blemishes​ (buttne) 
  • Insect Bites​ 

 

For external use only. Do not use in the vaginal region or to shave underarms. Do not use after shaving. Always shave in the evening and allow your skin to calm before using this product. 

  • Moisten the bar and apply the lather to affected areas with a soft and gentle cloth or silicone exfoliating brush (fingers can be used if exfoliating has occurred more than twice a week). 
  • Massage for 30 seconds to allow the actives to penetrate the area before rinsing off. 

 

If you are treating pigmentation on the underarms, follow with the niacinamide brightening deodorant for faster results.

Too soon to tell, but I like it.

I have maybe 3.5 weeks using it, I want to believe I do see some slight lightning, but I need to use it for longer to say if it does work. I have struggled with Dark underarms since I was 9/10 years old when I started shaving, so it is chronic darkness at this point that is why I think it will take time. I also just shaved so that probably did not help. I will start waxing and then I will be able to tell if it has made a difference.

Smells amazing

Smells amazing, does a good job as a soap but it's brilliant because it doesn't leave the skin dehydrated. Still have to see if the Kojic acid brightening is actually a thing, only been using it a month+.

Nice lather

Nice lather, doesn't dry out skin, and I'm on city water.
Been using the bar for a month, I notice a slight tightening of the red scars from insect bites, scratches, etc. Looks like there's is a month or more of bar left.

works wonders!

I was skeptical at first when I purchased the soap but after finishing the bar completely I can honestly say I have see a difference. My under arms, elbows and knees were so hyper-pigmented but after using this I’m very happy with the results

Works well!

I was surprised how well this worked for the darker pigmentation. I did not have a ton of pigmentation issues, but the areas I did have are normalizing within a week's time of daily use. I am also pleased with the lather and scent. Will purchase again.

Why didn't I order this sooner???

I have to admit I am sometimes hesitant to order things I see on TikTok or Instagram, but I decided to bite the bullet and get the brightening bar. I have some dark spots on my body due to acne scaring and scratching allergic rashes until I bleed and have scabs. This soap has already faded much of the scarring so far and it makes my skin so super soft and moisturized. I ditched everything else I was using in favour of this and would recommend to anyone. A bonus is the fact that it comes from Canada and I'm happy to support Canadian businesses.

Excellent Product

The Kojic Acid Brightening Bar lightened the darkened skin on my elbows immensely! I can’t wait to see how much lighter they get. This product softened my rough elbows as well. I’m very impressed with the performance of this product. 💖

Amazing soap

Works gradually over time and highly effective at brightening and evening out overall skin tone. Also quite long lasting if you take care of it and don’t leave it in a puddle of water to dissolve like any other bar of soap. This has become my go-to soap year round. Just wish I could have a stockpile of it as it’s quite pricey!

Kojic and ingrown soap bar

The soap finished in 3rd bath only....it would have been better it lasted few more baths. Couldn't see any difference as I was not able to use it longer.
Same goes for ingrown soap bar.... some people wax the whole body and want to use it all over the body but it finished too quickly. Couldn't see any results.

I've only used the product a couple of times but so far I am liking the smell and it feels like a quality soap. Will use the sample I have more often.

noticeable improvement in a short amount of time. appreciate the size of the bar, its scent, and its effectiveness. will be buying again

C

I switched to the Kojic bar from the Underarm bar because I could no longer tolerate the scent (Underarm bar smells like artificial-scented men's aftershave)
Back to Kojic, most important I can tolerate the natural scent and gives the charcoal deodorant a booster but I haven't noticed any color change in my skin.

Great product, smells nice and is a good item in combination with other brightening Kaia products for underarm brightening.
Good travel size and easy to use, as it lathers well. It also smells nice!

I got the trial size and it lasted me a couple weeks. I saw slight results. I think if I use it longer it will be more visable.

I use it for my underarms, elbows and knees. It works slowly but will definitely give you results if you are persistent with it usage everyday

This bar is made of clean materials and it really does the trick! I am very pleased with it! I donƒ??t have to be so embarrassed about the darker spots under my armpits anymore when playing sports and waving, or just wearing tank tops in the Sun! Itƒ??s a big relief.

I rarely bother to write any product review. The effectiveness of the brightening bar is so astounding I had to share my experience. I have been using this bar on my elbows and knees and the hyperpigmentation is slowing fading away. Do yourself a favor and donƒ??t sleep on Kaia Naturals products.

Smells great, very effective at minimizing my dark spots on shave areas
