Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 50 g – Antioxidant Powder for Cosmetic Formulation

Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic Acid, is a water-soluble antioxidant used in cosmetic formulation. It is an ingredient for developing vitamin C skincare products, including appropriately formulated serums, creams and lotions.

The 50 g powder pack allows accurate weighing for small-batch development. Finished-product performance depends on the concentration, pH, stability and packaging.

Features and Benefits

• Antioxidant properties: Can help protect oxidation-sensitive ingredients in suitable formulations.
• Vitamin C skincare development: Suitable for projects focused on brighter, more even-looking skin, subject to finished-product testing.
• Water-soluble ingredient: Can be incorporated into a compatible aqueous phase.
• Powder format: Convenient for accurately weighed formulation trials.

Applications

Ascorbic Acid can be considered for:

• Vitamin C facial serums.
• Appropriately formulated creams and lotions.
• Cosmetic antioxidant systems.
• Product development requiring controlled acidic formulations.

Conventional alkaline soap is not a suitable default application for preserving active Ascorbic Acid. Its stability is poor under alkaline conditions, so adding it at trace does not establish an effective vitamin C soap.

How to Use

1. Define the formulation: Select the concentration and target pH according to the supplier’s technical guidance and the intended application.
2. Dissolve appropriately: Incorporate into a suitable portion of the water phase, following the validated production method.
3. Control processing conditions: Minimise unnecessary exposure to air, heat and light.
4. Measure the final pH: Ascorbic Acid lowers pH; adding it does not automatically improve formulation stability.
5. Validate the finished product: Assess stability, packaging compatibility and preservation where applicable.

Do not add unmeasured powder directly to a ready-made serum or moisturiser. Doing so can change its pH, compatibility and stability.

Storage and Handling

Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture. Follow the supplier’s storage instructions. Avoid inhaling dust and contact with the eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

Do not apply the undiluted powder directly to the skin. Food or supplement use requires confirmation that the supplied grade and product labelling support that application; this page does not provide oral dosing instructions.
