Ascorbyl Palmitate is a stable, fat-soluble form of Vitamin C that is commonly used in skincare products. It is an ester formed by combining ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) with palmitic acid, a fatty acid. This combination allows Ascorbyl Palmitate to penetrate the skin's lipid barrier more effectively, making it a popular choice for formulations aimed at improving skin appearance and health.
Information
Ascorbyl Palmitate is a stable, fat-soluble form of Vitamin C that is commonly used in skincare products. It is an ester formed by combining ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) with palmitic acid, a fatty acid. This combination allows Ascorbyl Palmitate to penetrate the skin's lipid barrier more effectively, making it a popular choice for formulations aimed at improving skin appearance and health.
Where does it come from?
Ascorbyl Palmitate is derived from natural sources of Vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and vegetables, and palmitic acid, which is commonly found in palm oil and other vegetable oils. The synthesis of Ascorbyl Palmitate involves chemically bonding these two components, resulting in a more stable and fat-soluble form of Vitamin C that is suitable for use in skincare products.
Antioxidant Protection: Protects the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental stressors, such as UV radiation and pollution.
Brightens Skin Tone: Helps even out skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Collagen Production: Supports collagen synthesis, which helps improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Moisturizing Effect: Its fat-soluble nature allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration.
Stabilized Form of Vitamin C: Offers a more stable form of Vitamin C, which is less likely to degrade when exposed to light and air compared to pure ascorbic acid.
How is it used in our products?
Ascorbyl Palmitate is used in F06 Cell Active Serum Face from OLIVEDA. It is included for its antioxidant benefits and skin-brightening effects, without the irritation often associated with water-soluble forms of Vitamin C. It enhances overall skin protection and improves the appearance of aging or dull skin.
