Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, highly valued in cosmetics for its brightening and protective properties. It supports collagen production, reduces dark spots, evens out skin tone, and fights damage caused by free radicals, helping to maintain firm and radiant skin.
The Challenge of Vitamin C Stability
The most common form of vitamin C, pure ascorbic acid, is known for its chemical instability, which can compromise its effectiveness in cosmetic formulations. Exposure to light, heat, air, and humidity accelerates oxidation, reducing its benefits for the skin.
