hey gurrllllll hook me up wth one of your creations
lol i have a few but if we stick to the Kojic Acid on this thread. Personally i have since switched from Kocic acid soap to African black soap with extra added exfoliants eg oatmeal etc.
to make KoJic acid soap you need the following:

1.Kojic acid powder
2.water (to dissolve your KA)
3.Essential oil of choice ( I use carrot seed essential oil for KA soap)
4.1 lb soap base ( i'll leave a link below on the ones i use regularly)
5.Fresh Papaya puree or simply food color ( i use color)
6.Rubbing Alcohol
7.A silicon mold ( to mold your soap)

Prep:
Take 1 teaspoon KA Powder put it in a microwaveable glass container, add 4 tablespoons of water.
Take another container with hot water in it, place your glass container with your KA + Water mix in it so it can dissolve properly
Take your soap base ( having already cut it in pieces and placed it in a microwaveable glass bowl) Place this in the microwave for 1 min tops to melt.
Now that you have your melted soap base, add your dissolved KA and stir the mix, while stirring add your food color or if you're the "organic" type add your papaya puree, stir that together
Add a few drops of your essential oil (in my case i use carrot seed oil 10-20 drops) into your melted soap mix stir some more.
Take your silicon mold and pour your freshly prepared soap into it.
Once done take your rubbing alcohol and spray it on your soap so you can loose the bubbles that have foamed in the mix once poured in the silicon mould.
Let your soap cool for 6 hours or freeze it if you don't have the patience.
Unmold your soap and its ready to use.

This might look like a lot of work but you probably will only need to do it once every two months since you can make 6-8 bars of soap at once.

We actually used to have one on our old platform........I miss it so much!!

I can make a thread in the DIY section if you wish, might be easier to locate that way and or direct people there when they ask. Great details btw, I love all the info you provided, great job @RKB. What other tricks you got up your sleeve? :p
Yes please @gmyrat if you don't moving it there.
I make different types of soap (mostly exfoliating soaps) e.g rice soap, african black soap with papaya puree, carrot puree mixed with a bit of oatmeal, goat milk soap since it has LA i just add a bit of KA, and the oatmeal +shea butter base i add other things blah blah... ( i know I'm excessive with it but DIY is addictive) i got tired of buying small bars that are meant to just empty my pockets... this lightening journey is expensive..

I hear you. Personally it's satisfying to make my own. i got tired of getting used to one soap then when i need to go buy more the damn this issued out or discontinued.. so i figured for the sake of consistency, i'd rather get my skin used to what will always be available i.e my DIY soaps.

TBH you can add what is tolerable to your own skin. Personally i don't go above 2% for the soap since i have KA in my lotion as well. if you have sensitive skin use 1%. It is important to also note that its not the higher % of KA, it is the everyday use that makes KA effective.
