Does natural or fermented kojic acid mean a gentler product?

The words “natural” or “fermented” do not guarantee that a kojic acid product will feel gentle on your skin. The whole formula matters, as do the directions and your own skin.

How should I choose a kojic acid soap?

Start with the full ingredient list and check for anything you know you need to avoid. Read the directions for the exact product, patch test before first use and stop if it irritates your skin.

What is in Sea Essence soap?

Our Turmeric + Kojic Acid Sea Moss Soap brings kojic acid, turmeric, liquorice root and sea moss together in a face and body bar. It also contains glycerin, shea butter and cocoa butter. Check the full ingredient list on the product page, including its essential oils.

How do I use it?

Wet the bar and lather between your hands. Massage gently over wet skin, avoiding the eyes. Follow the product directions: leave the lather on for two minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF afterwards.

Kojic acid is used in brightening skincare for a more even-looking tone. If that is what you want from your routine, explore our soap and select Turmeric.
