FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Staple Skin Care Ingredient: Vitamin C is a highly valued ingredient in skin care formulations for its ability to firm, soothe, brighten, smooth, and balance the skin. Known for its regenerative properties, Vitamin C enhances the overall complexion, leaving the skin looking smoother and more vibrant.

Antioxidant Protection: When used in skin care, Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, which is essential in protecting the skin from the effects of free radicals. By neutralizing harmful molecules, Vitamin C helps to offset the breakdown of collagen and preserve the skin's health and vitality.

Calming and Soothing: Vitamin C's skin-soothing properties are gentle enough for use on sensitive or irritated skin types. It may also reduce redness and discomfort when applied topically, making it ideal for products designed for acne-prone skin.

Hair and Scalp Enhancer: As an ingredient in shampoos, Vitamin C can support the health and overall appearance of the hair and scalp. It helps to maintain a balanced scalp environment while contributing to shinier, more manageable hair.


DESCRIPTION

Vitamin C is a vital ingredient in personal care due to its ability to support collagen production and protect the skin from environmental elements. It not only contributes to a youthful appearance but also helps to reduce the appearance of age spots and other discoloration. The antioxidant qualities of Vitamin C offer an added layer of defense against external stressors, making it a staple in modern skincare.

When incorporated into cosmetic formulations, Vitamin C aids in regulating the pH level of the final product, ensuring optimal performance and stability. Additionally, Vitamin C preserves the product's efficacy by preventing formulation degradation that can occur when exposed to air. A Vitamin C-enriched product is also known to enhance potency when combined with sunscreen, providing a robust defense against UVA and UVB rays. Beneficial for a variety of skin types and concerns, Vitamin C continues to be a trusted ingredient for those seeking to elevate their formulations.


DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE

  • Formulating with Vitamin C: For optimal results, Vitamin C should be added to the water phase of your formulation. The recommended usage levels vary depending on the type of product you are creating, with a maximum dosage ranging from 0.5% to 20%.

  • Toners and Serums: Add 0.5% to 5% of Vitamin C powder to the water phase of your toner or serum formulations. This concentration helps to firm, brighten, and balance the skin.

  • Moisturizers and Face Masks: For moisturizers and face masks, incorporate 1% to 10% of Vitamin C powder into the water phase. This dosage nourishes the skin, soothes irritation, and helps to reduce redness.

  • Shampoos: When formulating shampoos, include 0.5% to 2% of Vitamin C powder into the water phase. This addition supports scalp health while improving the overall texture and appearance of both the hair and scalp.

Tips:

  • Ensure that Vitamin C powder is thoroughly dissolved in the water phase before combining it with other ingredients.

  • To maximize the stability and efficacy of your formulation, consider pairing Vitamin C with other antioxidant-rich ingredients.

  • Store formulations containing Vitamin C in opaque, airtight containers to protect them from light and air, which can degrade the potency of Vitamin C.
