Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (VC-IP) is a highly stable, oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative (tetraester of ascorbic acid and isopalmitic acid) designed for superior skin penetration. It effectively inhibits melanogenesis to brighten skin, stimulates collagen production, and provides potent antioxidant protection. Unlike traditional, water-soluble Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) that oxidizes quickly and causes irritation, VC-IP is a, lipid-soluble form that penetrates deeply, acts gently, and stays stable for lasting results. Ideal for anti-aging serums and oils, it is non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin.
Often referred to as Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate in the industry, this ingredient works harder, lasts longer, and is far more comfortable on the skin than traditional Vitamin C. Get all the benefits of brightening, collagen-boosting, and protection, without the compromises.
Key Benefits:
Maximum Stability & Potency: Remains stable in oil systems (no rapid browning or degradation), ensuring every drop is effective.
Superior Penetration: Lipophilic (oil-loving) structure allows it to penetrate the skin barrier deeper and more effectively than standard Vitamin C.
Brightening & Even Tone: Potently inhibits melanin production (80% efficacy in studies) to fade dark spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.
Anti-Aging & Collagen Support: Promotes collagen synthesis, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting skin firmness.
Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Non-acidic, making it a perfect, non-irritating alternative for individuals who struggle with pure Vitamin C.
Potent Antioxidant: Provides superior protection against UV-induced damage and environmental stressors.
