Description: 

L-Ascorbyl Palmitate is a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C. It is derived from ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and palmitic acid, a fatty acid. L-Ascorbyl Palmitate offers similar benefits to vitamin C but with enhanced stability, making it suitable for skincare products. This ingredient is known for its antioxidant properties and ability to brighten the skin. It helps to protect the skin from free radicals, stimulate collagen synthesis, and improve overall skin health.


Benefits (Skincare):

  • Powerful antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radicals
  • Stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness
  • Helps to brighten the skin and even out skin tone
  • Supports the skin's natural defense mechanisms
  • Assists in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enhances the efficacy of sunscreens and UV protection

 Differences between Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbyl Palmitate:

Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbyl Palmitate
Because it is inexpensive, this “C” molecule is the most popular one.  But since it is water soluble it is highly unstable and can easily lose its effectiveness in the presence of light, air and oxygen. It also won’t treat the fat-soluble parts of skin cells. In addition, due to its instability, you need high concentrations of L-Ascorbic Acid to work and it needs to be mixed into an alkaline (low pH) formulation for maximum effectiveness.
It is a Vitamin C ester, which means that its water has been eliminated and it has been combined with alcohol to create a fatty acid, making it fat-soluble rather than water-soluble.  It is also non-irritating, long-lasting and highly effective. The problem is that it is so stable it doesn’t blend well with other ingredients, which means it only can be used in minuscule amounts. 


Use: Add to hot fat phase or emulsifier phase of formulas, usual final concentration 0.5-8 %.

For external use only.

Melting Point: at a temperature between 85 - 90°C

NOTE: if it does not dissolve completely add vitamin C and some oil to a mortar and blend the mixture thoroughly with the pestle before adding it to the ingredients.

Applications:

Lotions

Creams
