Technical Description & Product Overview
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is a water-soluble vitamin and powerful antioxidant widely used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and personal-care formulations. It helps protect formulations and biological systems from oxidative processes and is commonly used as a nutritional ingredient, antioxidant, reducing agent and skin-conditioning ingredient. In cosmetics, it is incorporated into serums, creams, lotions and other skincare products, while food-grade material is used in fortified foods, beverages and nutritional preparations. It is typically supplied as a fine white to slightly yellow crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water. Chemical name: L-Ascorbic Acid | Formula: C₆H₈O₆ | CAS No.: 50-81-7 | Function: antioxidant, nutritional ingredient and reducing agent. Because ascorbic acid can degrade when exposed to light, heat, oxygen and certain metal ions, appropriate formulation, packaging and storage conditions are important.
