L- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) (99%)

L-Ascorbic Acid is the purest and most active form of Vitamin C, known for its remarkable skin-brightening, anti-aging, and antioxidant benefits. It is widely used in facial serums, creams, and masks to target dullness, pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.

It works by neutralizing free radicals, stimulating collagen production, and reducing melanin formation, which makes it an excellent choice for those dealing with sun damage, age spots, or discoloration.

Due to its sensitivity to air, light, and heat, L-Ascorbic Acid should be stored in airtight, opaque containers and added to formulations at the cool-down phase. Products containing L-Ascorbic Acid should also be packaged in UV-protective packaging to maintain stability.
