What is this
Vitamin C (Derivatives)
Vitamin C derivatives are stabilised forms of ascorbic acid — here Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Palmitate and Ascorbyl Dipalmitate — that skin converts into active vitamin C after absorption. They deliver vitamin C's brightening, antioxidant character with greater stability and gentleness than the pure acid.

Questions about vitamin c (derivatives)
What are vitamin C derivatives?
They are forms of vitamin C bonded to stabilising groups — in our formulas Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Palmitate and Ascorbyl Dipalmitate. The bond keeps the vitamin fresh in the formula; enzymes in the skin then release the active form exactly where it is needed.
Are vitamin C derivatives as effective as pure vitamin C?
Pure L-ascorbic acid is the fastest-acting form, but it is unstable and can sting. Derivatives trade a little immediacy for stability and gentleness, and in well-built formulas the visible results — brightness, evenness, antioxidant defense — are comparable for daily use.
What does vitamin C do for skin?
It is a benchmark antioxidant: it helps neutralise free radicals from UV exposure and pollution, supports the look of firmness and helps soften the look of dullness and uneven tone. With consistent use skin appears brighter, smoother and more luminous.
Is vitamin C good for sensitive skin?
The derivative forms are the sensitive-skin answer. Because they convert gradually on the skin, they are far less likely to cause the tingling associated with strong pure-acid serums, making daily vitamin C realistic even for reactive complexions.
