DESCRIPTION: Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is the tetraester of Ascorbic Acid and isopalmitic acid (Also known as VC-IP). It is priced in cosmetics as a stable vitamin C derivative with improved percutaneous absorption. It prevents lipid peroxidation, stimulates collagen production, lightens the skin’s colour, and fades and removes dark spots. A stable antioxidant against free radicals, protect skin cells and prevents and repairs acne. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate also has good anti-inflammatory properties, sunburn protection, skin lightening and anti-ageing benefits.
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is beneficial in skin lightening with additional sun protection benefits because it helps prevent skin darkening caused by harmful UV rays and UVR-induced DNA mutations.
Compared to other vitamin C derivatives, it is stable against heat and light and shows good solubility with plant oils. It has the highest stability among all vitamin C derivatives (As of the time of writing).
