Vitamin C – The timeless active agent for a glowing skin

Vitamin power down-the-line for your skin

Vitamin C has been and will be an indispensable component of modern-day skin care. Being a real all-rounder, it protects the skin from oxidative stress, supports collagen production and gives the skin an even, glowing look. Small wonder that this powerful active agent can be found in a great number of cosmetic products ranging from light serums up to rich creams. Vitamin C is convincing across the board. Whether it’s the glow effect, protection from harmful environmental influences, anti-aging or pre-aging products:  Vitamin C made it to the list of the 10 best active agents, and consumers can hardly get enough of this all-rounder.

 

Highly effective vitamin C derivatives for any formulation

What makes consumer’s hearts beat faster on the one hand is a big challenge in terms of formulations on the other: stability. As developers know, pure vitamin C cannot be integrated into modern formulations just like that. If used in larger quantities, the natural ascorbic acid is quickly susceptible to produce chemical changes which also become clearly visible in the formulation. For this reason, our innovative derivatives are fantastic, stable alternatives with the same effectiveness for the most diverse applications.

EAA (7246) – Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – nothing beats its stability
EAA (Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) belongs to the most advanced and demonstrably most stable vitamin C derivatives which is perfectly suitable for formulations in the pH range from 3.5 – 6. It also stands out due its high bio-availability as it is quickly converted into pure vitamin C in the skin. This means: An intensive antioxidative effect, a visibly glowing and more even complexion. Ideally suitable for highly effective serums and essences which are used to fight hyperpigmentation and aging of the skin. So nothing stands in the way of modern vitamin cocktail formulations with very high concentrations that also conform to the Natrue and COSMOS standards.

Ascorbyl Glucoside (7268) – vitamin C meets sugar
Anyone who is looking for a gentle but effective form of vitamin C will always make the right choice with Ascorbyl Glucoside (7268). This water-soluble variety gradually releases vitamin C and thus ensures a continuous effect all day long.  Its stability in the pH range from 5 – 7 and its conformity with the COSMOS and Natrue standards definitely make it one of the most popular derivatives for innovative vitamin C cosmetics with proven bio-availability.

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (7374) – oil-soluble vitamin C for rich skin care
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (7374) is the oil-soluble variety of vitamin C and thus ideally suitable for rich, water-free formulations such as oils and balms or as a combination in the oily phase of modern emulsions. This variety is especially well absorbed by the skin, strengthens its natural barrier and protects it from oxidative stress for a long time. Perfectly suitable for luxurious skin care products that preserve the moisture of the skin and make it glow at the same time.
