What is it?

Ascorbyl isostearate is a fat-soluble derivative of vitamin C, created by combining ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with isostearic acid (a fatty acid). This combination enhances the stability and skin penetration of vitamin C, making it a valuable ingredient in skincare formulations aimed at brightening and protecting the skin.

Information

Ascorbyl isostearate is a fat-soluble derivative of vitamin C, created by combining ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with isostearic acid (a fatty acid). This combination enhances the stability and skin penetration of vitamin C, making it a valuable ingredient in skincare formulations aimed at brightening and protecting the skin.

Where does it come from?

Ascorbyl isostearate is created by bonding ascorbic acid, which is typically derived from plant-based sources like citrus fruits, with isostearic acid, sourced from vegetable oils. This process results in a more stable, oil-compatible form of vitamin C suitable for cosmetic use.

What are the benefits?

BRIGHTENING GENTLE PROTECTING

What are the benefits?

  • Antioxidant protection: Neutralizes free radicals to diminish the signs of maturing skin.
  • Brightens complexion: Minimizes the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone.
  • Collagen production: Promotes skin tautness and elasticity.
  • Product stability: More resilient to oxidation than pure ascorbic acid.
  • Skin absorption: Penetrates the skin well due to its lipid-soluble nature.
  • Gentle: Its gentle nature is suitable for sensitive skin types.

How is it used in our products?

Ascorbyl isostearate is used in F91 Corrective Cleansing Balm from OLIVEDA. It is included for its brightening, rejuvenating, and antioxidant protection. Its oil-soluble nature allows it to blend seamlessly into our emulsion, delivering the benefits of vitamin C in a more stable and gentle form. It is ideal for irritated or sensitive skin types.
