Description:
Ascorbyl palmitate is a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that is made by combining ascorbic acid with a fatty acid known as palmitic acid. It’s also known as ascorbyl-6 palmitate, and it is effective up to a pH of 6. Pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) requires a pH of 3.5 or lower to work, making ascorbyl palmitate easier to formulate with.

it is a powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin. highly bioavailable, a fat-soluble form of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The palmitate portion of this ingredient lends it hydrating properties many other forms of vitamin C do not have.

Ascorbyl palmitate is also a potent antioxidant in protecting lipids from peroxidation and is a free radical scavenger. It is a great ingredient for anti-aging treatments, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, evening skin tone and protecting skin from free-radical damage.

Ascorbyl palmitate is often used in skin care at amounts between 0.1-1% where its antioxidant ability helps stabilize more delicate ingredients, including pure vitamin C; however, it’s not impervious to breaking down with ongoing exposure to heat and oxygen, as data from multiple ingredient suppliers attests.
