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 easily, making it a popular choice for formulations that contribute to skin appearance and condition.
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 easily, making it a popular choice for formulations that contribute to skin appearance and condition.
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 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 radicals and environmental factors, such as UV radiation and pollution.
Brightens Skin Tone: Can even out skin tone and minimize the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Collagen Production: Supports collagen synthesis, which can contribute to skin elasticity and minimize the appearance of maturing skin.
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 Facefrom OLIVEDA. It is included for its antioxidant benefits and skin-brightening properties, without the irritation often associated with water-soluble forms of Vitamin C. It contributes to a more vibrant complexion and overall skin protection.
