Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl Palmitate – Fat-Soluble Vitamin C for Oil-Based Formulations

Ascorbyl Palmitate is a fat soluble vitamin C for oil-based formulations, produced by combining L-ascorbic acid with palmitic acid to form a stable, lipid-compatible ester. Unlike water-soluble Vitamin C derivatives, this ingredient integrates directly into the oil phase of a formulation, making it a genuine oil soluble antioxidant for cosmetic formulations built around anhydrous systems, oils, and emulsions.

Why Choose This Ascorbyl Palmitate

Whether you're formulating anti-aging serums or ready to buy ascorbyl palmitate online India in bulk, this ascorbyl palmitate gives you a consistent, well-characterized raw material backed by GMP, Ecocert, India Organic, Halal, and ISO certifications. It's genuinely well suited to ascorbyl palmitate for anti-aging serums and creams, especially oil-based and anhydrous formulation types.

Uses of Ascorbyl Palmitate

Benefits

• Genuine Formulation Flexibility: Its fat-soluble nature makes it one of the few Vitamin C options that formulates cleanly into oil phases and anhydrous systems, where water-soluble derivatives can't be used.
  
• Strong Oxidative Stability: Markedly more stable than free L-ascorbic acid in the presence of water and higher pH, helping formulations maintain potency over their shelf life.
  
• Supports Lipid-Layer Antioxidant Protection: Helps limit lipid peroxidation within the skin's own surface lipids, supporting barrier integrity and reducing photo-induced oxidative stress.
  
• Honest Positioning on Brightening: While it contributes antioxidant support, its brightening/pigment-evening performance is generally considered milder than optimized water-soluble forms like L-ascorbic acid — best positioned as an antioxidant-first ingredient.
  

How to Use

• Typical usage: 0.2%–3% of total formulation weight.
  
• Add to the hot fat phase or emulsifier phase of your formulation.
  
• If it doesn't dissolve completely, blend thoroughly with a small amount of oil before incorporating.
  
• pH note: Optimal stability is at a pH below 6.
  
• For enhanced antioxidant effect, combine with L-ascorbic acid and/or Vitamin E.
  
• Store in an airtight container, protected from light, between 8°C–15°C.
