How does it get vitamin C directly into the skin without degrading?
Ester-C® Topical contains the same Ester-C® mineral ascorbates that have enjoyed great popularity over the years as oral supplements. It was designed, however, to overcome the notorious instability of vitamin C in products containing a lot of water, such as cosmetic creams and lotions. From the manufacturer’s standpoint, Ester-C® Topical has an extremely long shelf life and offers ease of formulation because it is compatible with so many cosmetic ingredients. When creams and lotions are formulated with the Ester-C® Topical, the vitamin C is protected longer from the deleterious action of water in the finished product, so the vitamin C has a longer lifetime in the product. This means that consumers get the vitamin C they expect from the finished product, so it can go on the skin as vitamin C, not a degraded product.
