About this ingredient

A fat-soluble derivative of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) where the hydroxyl groups are esterified with isopalmitic acid. This stabilized form of vitamin C is more lipophilic and shelf-stable than L-ascorbic acid, allowing better penetration into skin and longer-lasting antioxidant benefits. It provides photoprotection and brightening effects while supporting collagen synthesis.
