How Kojic Acid Works On Skin: Melanin is a pigment produced by specialized cells called melanocytes found in the skin epidermis layer. They serve as the skin's natural defense mechanism against harmful UV radiation of the Sun. One of the primary functions of melanin is to absorb and scatter ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the sun. Melanocytes produce more melanin as a defense mechanism to shield the skin from UV damage, when the skin is exposed to sunlight. This helps prevent sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer caused by excessive sun exposure.
