Vitamin C (ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate)

Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate is a stabilised vitamin C derivative bound to fatty acids. This makes it oil-soluble, allows it to penetrate well into the epidermis and helps it keep its activity far longer than pure ascorbic acid.

It acts as a powerful antioxidant - helping protect the skin from free radicals and the harmful effects of external factors. It brightens, evens out skin tone and restores radiance, while also helping protect collagen from breaking down.

It is gentler than pure vitamin C, so it also suits sensitive skin. You will find it in creams, serums and facial care products.
