Vitamin c powder ( L ascorbic acid powder)

Vitamin C, 100% L-Ascorbic Acid, FCC, Ultrafine powder is a water-soluble antioxidant. Vitamin C, a potent, naturally occurring antioxidant that plays a pivotal role in the prevention of dry skin and wrinkles, collagen synthesis, and skin regeneration.

Ascorbate is found in all layers of the skin but is more concentrated in the epidermis than the dermis.  However, it is readily depleted by about two thirds in cutaneous tissue stores with exposure to UV light. Biochemically, the body relies on ascorbate in the collagen biosynthetic pathway.

The topical application of Vitamin C has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Caused by mechanisms supporting collagen production, this leads to improving the appearance of the skin.  It has further been proven to reduce the severity of sunburns and age spots.

This is a cosmetic raw material and is meant for external use only in cosmetic formulations.  As with all of our materials, it should not be taken internally.

Shelf Life:  The manufacturer’s stated “best use” date is two years from the date of manufacture if the container is unopened and stored away from heat, light, and air.

We repackage this product in foil bags with a zip seal and a desiccant and oxygen absorbing pack.  Please do not throw away these packs as they help protect your product! Close the bag quickly, expelling as much air as possible from the bag.  Over time, constant opening and closing of the bag will eventually deplete the ability of the desiccant pack to absorb moisture and the oxygen absorbent to absorb oxygen and allow the l-ascorbic acid to adsorb the moisture in the air and, in the presence of oxygen, it will begin to oxidize.

This will be noticeable as it takes on a yellow color in the solution. Please consider purchasing sizes suitable for use in a period of 3-4 months.  If you are using this daily, it is better to purchase 1oz packets of l-ascorbic acid rather than a 4 – 8 oz bag that will be opened frequently and take a long time to use up.
