Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate – Oil-Soluble Vitamin C

INCI Name: Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

CAS Number: 183476-82-6

Description

Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate is a stable, oil-soluble vitamin C ester. It is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid that blends straight into the oil phase, and it is far more stable to heat, light and oxidation than ascorbic acid.

It provides antioxidant protection, helps visibly even skin tone and reduce the look of dark spots, and supports a firmer, smoother-looking complexion. Being oil-soluble, it suits facial oils, anhydrous serums and creams where water-soluble vitamin C is hard to use.
