Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Neutralizes Free Radicals
Traditional Use
A fat-soluble form of Vitamin C developed in the mid-20th century to improve stability and penetration of ascorbic acid in skincare formulations. Created to overcome oxidation issues of pure Vitamin C while maintaining antioxidant benefits.
