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.

Vitamin C can help protect your skin from  free radicals.  free radicals can lead to visible signs of aging like dark spots and wrinkles. Vitamin C has the ability to brighten dull skin, lighten pigmentation, and  promote collagen synthesis-collagen giving skin plumpness and suppleness. It is popularly used in skin care products for its anti-aging benefits.
