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.

As of August 29, 2025, there is a 35% tariff or duty charge imposed on all goods coming into the U.S. from Canada. The United States mandates that all packages entering the U.S. from Canada must have their duties prepaid (settled upfront).
Our "USA only" pricing incorporates the necessary duty and processing fee calculated separately for each item. The advantage is that we charge the exact duty for each item and use the most economical shipping rates for orders bound for the U.S. Consequently, our prices are more budget-friendly compared to the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping option, where you might pay a lower item price but face exorbitant shipping costs, as the estimation for duty and duty processing fees is included in the shipping charges. In the DDP scenario, shipping companies rely on a general estimate for duties which can exceed the true amount, as they do not possess the exact information for each unique item.
