Introduction

Ascorbyl Palmitate is formed by esterifying ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) with palmitic acid. This modification transforms water-soluble Vitamin C into an oil-soluble antioxidant, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial formulations.

Physical & Chemical Properties

• Oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative
• White to off-white powder
• Excellent oxidative stability
• Lipid-compatible structure
• Heat and light resistant compared to standard Vitamin C

Main Benefits

Vitamin C Ascorbyl Palmitate Powder provides multiple functional advantages:

• Strong antioxidant activity against free radicals
• Helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress
• Supports collagen stability in cosmetic applications
• Improves shelf life of oil-based products
• Reduces oxidation in food and supplement formulations

Application Areas

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Widely used in anti-aging creams, lotions, serums, and sunscreen products due to its antioxidant and skin-protective properties.

Dietary Supplements

Commonly added to softgel capsules and lipid-based nutraceuticals as a stable source of Vitamin C.
