Overview
•Kojic acid in wash-off soap format has low systemic absorption but may increase photosensitivity, requiring daily broad-spectrum SPF use.
•Retinol and vitamin C combination in a soap bar can cause dryness, redness, or peeling especially on sensitive or facial skin with daily use.
•Patch testing on inner arm or neck is essential before full use; discontinue immediately if irritation, burning, or rash develops.
•Avoid contact with eyes; not for use on broken or damaged skin.
•Limited long-term safety data for combined high-actives in rinse-off products; some regulatory bodies limit kojic acid to ≤1% in leave-on cosmetics.
•Vegan and free of parabens/SLS but contains synthetic dyes and fragrance that may trigger contact dermatitis in sensitive users.
