L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

Vitamin C plays a crucial role in personal care formulations, thanks to its ability to stimulate collagen production and shield the skin from environmental stressors. It promotes a more youthful, radiant appearance by helping to fade age spots and discoloration, while its antioxidant properties provide a strong line of defense against daily skin damage.

Beyond its skincare benefits, Vitamin C contributes to the overall quality of cosmetic formulations. It helps maintain a stable pH level, prevents product degradation caused by exposure to air, and improves the longevity of active ingredients.
