Stabilised Vitamin C Active Ingredient

Properties

As a cosmetic ingredient, stabilised vitamin c is recognised for the following properties:

• Antioxidant: protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals due to environmental stress (pollution, etc.).

• Anti-ageing: stimulates the synthesis of collagen, one of the essential components of the skin's support tissue, whose synthesis decreases with age.

• Prevents the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: stimulates the renewal of fibroblasts (dermal cells)

• Brightens the skin, reduces and prevents pigmentation spots caused by the sun or age (high dose: 3 to 5%).

Indications

• Prevention of wrinkles and fine lines

• Prevents sun and pollution damage to the skin

• Mature skin

• Repairs photoageing (premature ageing due to UV rays)

• Pigmentation spots

Aroma-Zone Tip

Important:

Vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbyl phosphate has a basic pH and will increase the pH of your blends. It is therefore essential to check the pH of your mixtures.

Recommendations:

This vitamin C derivative that we offer is very stable in storage and formulation, however, to guarantee optimum stability of the vitamin C in your formulas, we advise you to:

• Avoid contact of the formula with metals (except stainless steel)

• Add vitamin E to the formula

• Respect the optimum pH range: 6.5 to 7

• Store the product in a closed container (ideally an airless bottle) away from air, light and heat.

• Synergy: We recommend combining vitamin C with vitamin E in your blends, for a very effective synergistic antioxidant effect on the skin, as well as to improve the stability of vitamin C in the formula.

• Incompatibilities: in order to respect the pH range required for good stability of the active ingredient, do not combine it with acidifying active ingredients or those requiring a more acidic pH range, such as AHA-fruit acids, DHA, alum stone powder, etc.).
