Vitamin C is most often known as Ascorbic Acid,L-Ascorbic Acid.It’s pure,100% authentic, and helps you achieve all your vitamin C dreams .This is vitamin C in its purest form,the gold standard of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is the most biologically active of all the derivatives, making it the strongest and most effective in terms of antioxidant abilities, reducing pigmentation, and boosting collagen production,but it’s ofen more irritation with more dosages. The pure form Vitamin C is known to be very unstable during formulation, and not tolerated by all skin types,especillay the sensitive skin, due to its low pH. This is why its derivatives are introduced to the formulations. The Vitamin C derivatives tend to penetrate the skin better, and are more stable than pure Ascorbic Acid.Nowdays,in the personal care industry,more and more Vitamin C derivatives are introduced to the personal care products.
A major role of vitamin C is in manufacturing collagen, a protein that forms the basis of connective tissue - the most abundant tissue in the body. Cosmate®AP,Ascorbyl palmitate is an effective free radical-scavenging antioxidant which promotes skin health and vitality.
Cosmate®AP,Ascorbyl Palmitate, L-ascorbyl palmitate,Vitamin C Palmitate,6-O-palmitoylascorbic acid, L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate is a fat-soluble form of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. Unlike ascorbic acid, which is water-soluble, ascorbyl palmitate is not water-soluable. Consequently ascorbyl palminate can be stored in cell membranes until it is required by the body. Many people think vitamin C (ascorbyl palminate) is only used for immune support, but it has many other important function.
Ascorbyl Palmitate is a fat-soluble derivative of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that combines ascorbic acid with palmitic acid, a fatty acid. This unique structure makes it oil-soluble, unlike other Vitamin C derivatives, which are typically water-soluble. Ascorbyl Palmitate is converted into active ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and palmitic acid when it penetrates the skin. The ascorbic acid then delivers its antioxidant and brightening benefits.
Benefits in Skincare:
Antioxidant Properties: Ascorbyl Palmitate protects the skin from free radical damage caused by UV radiation and environmental pollutants.
Collagen Synthesis: Ascorbyl Palmitate promotes collagen production, helping to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Brightening: Ascorbyl Palmitate helps fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone by inhibiting melanin production.
Stability: More stable than pure ascorbic acid, especially in formulations containing oils or fats.
Skin Barrier Support: Its fatty acid component can help strengthen the skin barrier and improve moisture retention.
Common Uses:
Ascorbyl Palmitate is often found in moisturizers, serums, and anti-aging products.
Ascorbyl Palmitate is often used in oil-based formulations or anhydrous (water-free) products due to its oil-soluble nature.
Ascorbyl Palmitate can be combined with other antioxidants (e.g., Vitamin E) to enhance stability and efficacy.
Key Differences from Other Vitamin C Derivatives:
Oil-Soluble: Unlike Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) or Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP), Ascorbyl Palmitate is fat-soluble, making it ideal for oil-based products.
Less Potent: It is less potent than pure ascorbic acid because only a portion of it converts to active Vitamin C in the skin.
Gentle: Generally well-tolerated and less likely to cause irritation compared to pure ascorbic acid.
