What are the effects of vitamin C as a cosmetic?
When asked, "What ingredients are aimed at achieving beautiful skin?" one might think of vitamin C. It not only helps prevent spots and freckles on the skin but also has the effect of lightening the color of existing spots. Additionally, it has attractive properties such as anti-wrinkle effects, suppression of sebum production, and antioxidant effects. However, vitamin C has the drawback of being unstable to heat and light, making it difficult to penetrate the skin and exert its effects. Therefore, instead of incorporating it directly into cosmetics, various vitamin C derivatives have been developed by processing vitamin C (ascorbic acid) to improve stability and skin permeability. Many vitamin C derivatives penetrate the skin and convert to ascorbic acid through decomposition and metabolism by enzymes present in the skin, thereby exerting their effects. There are three types of vitamin C derivatives: water-soluble, oil-soluble, and amphiphilic, and it is necessary to select the appropriate vitamin C derivative based on compatibility with the items. Furthermore, let’s choose the most suitable vitamin C derivative for your products from various perspectives, such as stability and compatibility with external products.
