Recommended Usage: 0.2% to 2%
Purity: Cosmetic grade – for external use only

Product Overview:

Ascorbyl Palmitate is a highly stable, oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), formed by combining ascorbic acid with palmitic acid (a fatty acid). This makes it ideal for incorporation into oil-based and anhydrous formulations like facial oils, creams, butters, balms, and serums. Unlike water-soluble vitamin C, Ascorbyl Palmitate is more stable and less prone to oxidation, allowing for longer shelf life and consistent performance in your skincare creations.
