What it is

Ascorbyl Palmitate is a fat-soluble ester of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and palmitic acid. It is utilized for its enhanced absorption and stability compared to water-soluble Vitamin C, making it effective for topical and internal use to support skin and connective tissue integrity.

How it works

As a lipid-soluble antioxidant, Ascorbyl Palmitate penetrates cell membranes more readily, scavenging free radicals and protecting cellular structures from oxidative damage. It also acts as a cofactor in collagen synthesis, essential for skin elasticity and wound healing.

Who should take it

Adults looking to address dull skin, hair thinning, premature ageing. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.

Avoid / careful

Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
