Derivatives of vitamin C
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a water-soluble vitamin C derivative, which is also ideal for sensitive skin due to its stability and gentleness. It is effective in enhancing skin radiance, balancing skin tone and providing antioxidant protection. Due to its antimicrobial properties, it is also beneficial in formulas developed for acne-prone skin.
Ascorbyl glucoside is also a stable, water-soluble derivative that brightens the skin and helps reduce hyperpigmentation. When absorbed into the skin, it gradually turns into active vitamin C, thus providing antioxidant protection for a longer period of time and promoting collagen production.
Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate is a highly stable, fat-soluble vitamin C derivative that is popular in antiaging and skin lightening products. It penetrates deep into the skin, provides antioxidant protection and supports collagen synthesis. Due to its fat-soluble nature, it is ideal for dry or mature skin, increases elasticity and brightens the skin.
Ascorbyl Palmitate is a lipophilic ester of pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and palmitic acid. The ingredient protects the unsaturated fatty acids of the oils in the products and other oil components, which means that the oils in the creams will not go rancid and will not have an unpleasant smell.
