Description
Product Name:L-Ascorbyl Palmitate
CAS# 137-66-6
Green Code: 3
Ascorbyl palmitate is actually a vitamin C ester (vitamin C that has been esterified to a fatty acid). In this case, vitamin C is esterified to the saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid, resulting in a fat-soluble form of vitamin C. Ascorbyl palmitate has been added to a number of skin creams due to interest in its antioxidant properties as well as the important role of vitamin C in collagen synthesis. Ascorbyl palmitate
is also marketed as, "vitamin C ester," which should not be confused with Ester-C® Ascorbyl Palmitate overcomes the limitations inherent in ascorbic acid (the water soluble form of Vitamin C) with it’s ability to maintain adequate levels of Vitamin C in topical applications. The anti-oxidant power of Vitamin C in a topical application provides key protection. It can assist in repairing damage and fight free radicals in the environment.
Usage Rate: 0.5-5% Note: I have had some customers that find it hard to mix into the oil phase (it can burn) and also in the end product. I find the easiest way to handle it it to keep a small amount of oil back and mix the powder into it. After the oils are heated and before mixing them with the water phase add the wetted powder and mix in well. |
