Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is an oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative. Ascorbic acid is connected with four Isopalmitic acids (tetraester), making the water-soluble molecule lipophile (oil-soluble) that can easily penetrate through the skin’s lipid barrier, enhancing delivery and effectiveness. This lipophilic type of skincare superstar ingredient, l-Ascorbic acid, provides vitamin-like effects, including a powerful antioxidant, collagen boosting, and skin-whitening. It is a popular ingredient in high-end skincare products because of its proven effectiveness, stability, and gentleness.
Like other forms of Vitamin C, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate helps prevent cellular aging by inhibiting the cross-linking of collagen, oxidation of proteins, and lipid peroxidation. Working synergistically with other antioxidants like Vitamin E, it exhibits superior skin absorption levels and stability in formulations.
Many studies have confirmed the skin lightening, photo-protective, and hydrating effects of Vitamin C Tetraisopalmitate on the skin. Therefore, it is used in various skincare products such as anti-aging serums, eye treatments, skin lightening gels, and lotions/creams.
