Why is Vitamin C an essential ingredient in skin care?

1. Stimulates collagen production which improves elasticity and plumps skin with long term use;
2. Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles;
3. Helps to smooth textured or rough skin;
4. Reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and brown marks or blemishes on the skin;
5. Reduces the inflammatory response of free radical damage from environmental damage and is a very effective antioxidant;
6. Boosts our skin’s sun protection factor and increases the effect of our sunscreens;

Reduces the appearance of red marks produced by post acne blemishes.

Why do you chose Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate ?

When choosing a vitamin C ingredient for your skin , it was first essential to use an ingredient that minimised the chances of a skin reaction, and secondly to find an ingredient that was not affected by the water absorption channels (aquaporins) which would allow for a longer duration of effect within the skin.

Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate,an oil-soluble or lipid-soluble tetra ester derivative of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). What this means is that in its natural state, it is easily absorbed through the skin barrier and is not eliminated through the aquaporins.

In fact, some studies demonstrate that Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate will remain in the skin cells forty to eighty times longer than ascorbic acid and will have as much as four times the effect.

The advantage of Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate:

1. Allows for faster percutaneous absorption than other forms of vitamin C owing to its lipid solubility,
2. Provides better stability,
3. Lowers irritancy,
4. Significantly improves facial hyperpigmentation,
5. Reduces trans-epidermal water loss,
6. Increases skin elasticity, and
7. Visibly improves texture and wrinkles.
