A synthetic peptide combining kojic acid derivative with a nonapeptide, designed to target melanin synthesis and provide skin brightening benefits.

Kojyl carboxy sh-nonapeptide-2 is a hybrid peptide ingredient combining a kojic acid derivative (shikimic acid pathway derivative known for tyrosinase inhibition) with a nonapeptide sequence. Peptides of this type are generally well-tolerated on skin and are used in cosmetic anti-aging and skin-brightening formulations. No CAS number is assigned as this is a specific proprietary peptide complex. As a modern cosmetic active, it falls under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 but is not restricted.
