Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Vitamin C Ester)

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is an advanced, lipid soluble Vitamin C ester chosen for its superior penetration, high stability and antioxidant power. Its oil soluble nature allows it to move easily through the skin’s protective lipid barrier, delivering potent Vitamin C support to deeper layers far more effectively than water soluble forms.

Inside the skin, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate converts to 90 percent active Vitamin C, ensuring exceptional bioavailability. This activity helps neutralise free radicals, support collagen synthesis and minimise visible pigmentation including UVB induced discolouration. It is especially effective for skins concerned with dullness, uneven tone or oxidative stress.

As a multifunctional antioxidant, it also helps strengthen capillary walls and enhances overall vibrancy. Because it integrates seamlessly with the skin’s lipid matrix, it remains stable and potent.

Benefits For The Skin

  • Penetrates through lipid layers for deeper, more efficient Vitamin C delivery
  • Helps brighten uneven skin tone and visibly minimise pigmentation
  • Supports collagen synthesis for firmer, more youthful looking skin
  • Assists in reducing UVB induced pigmentation
  • Provides antioxidant support against oxidation related aging
  • Helps strengthen capillary walls
  • Promotes improved radiance, clarity and luminosity

Form, Stability & Delivery

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is one of the most stable forms of Vitamin C, highly resistant to oxidation and degradation. Its lipid soluble form ensures perfect skin affinity and compatibility with O COSMEDICS formulations.

How Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Vitamin C Ester) Works - Made Simple

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate helps the skin function to its absolute best ability. It does this by supporting:

1. Deep Penetration Through Lipid Layers
Its oil soluble structure allows it to dissolve into and travel through the skin’s natural lipids, delivering high potency Vitamin C where it is most effective.

2. Collagen Support for Firmness and Elasticity
Once converted to active Vitamin C, it supports collagen producing enzymes to help maintain firmer, more resilient looking skin.

3. Pigment Regulation and UVB Protection
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate assists in reducing UVB induced pigmentation and minimising melanin formation, helping support a more even looking skin tone.

4. Antioxidant Protection Against Oxidation
It neutralises free radicals that contribute to premature aging, helping maintain clarity, radiance and long-term skin health.
