Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, also known as Ascorbyl Palmitate, is a type of vitamin C used in cosmetic products and dietary supplements. It is an ester of ascorbic acid and isopalmitic acid. The latter is made up of a combination of palmitic acid and isopalmitic acid. It is produced from vegetable oils and is combined with synthetic ascorbic acid. It is recognized for its superior skin penetration abilities.

This type of vitamin C is more stable than pure ascorbic acid, making it a popular ingredient in many skin care products. It is widely used in products ranging from makeup to face and body creams. Its antioxidant properties make it great at fighting premature skin aging. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate not only helps fight free radicals, but also promotes collagen production, contributing to the overall appearance and health of the skin. It is also valued in cosmetics for its brightening effect, which helps even skin tone and reduce the appearance of freckles and hyperpigmentation. In addition to skin care products, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is also used in the food industry as an antioxidant to increase the shelf life of foods.
