ASCORBYL TETRAISOPALMITATE

Description

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is a potent, oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C that offers exceptional stability and skin penetration capabilities. This innovative ingredient addresses many of the challenges associated with traditional forms of Vitamin C in skincare formulations. Its unique molecular structure allows for enhanced absorption into the skin, where it is converted to ascorbic acid, the active form of Vitamin C.

As a powerful antioxidant, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate helps neutralize free radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. It plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, promoting skin firmness and elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, this ingredient exhibits skin-brightening properties by inhibiting melanin production, helping to even out skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate's oil-soluble nature makes it an excellent choice for incorporation into various skincare formulations, including serums, oils, and moisturizers. Its stability in formulations ensures a longer shelf life and maintained efficacy over time, overcoming the oxidation issues often associated with pure ascorbic acid. This makes it particularly suitable for sensitive skin types that may not tolerate higher concentrations of traditional Vitamin C forms.
