Description
Ascorbic Acid is a natural antioxidant. Humans do not produce vitamin C naturally, as a result we have to resort to ingesting it and applying it topically with skin care products to get our dose of this vital nutrient. Vitamin C typically is either synthetic or natural. Ascorbic Acid is derived from natural sources and is found in fruits and vegetables. Ascorbic acid is a very active form of vitamin C and is the most bioavailable. However, it can be highly unstable, and can oxidize easily if not properly formulated.
