ActiBiso™ VCT (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate)

Conventional vitamin C is susceptible to oxidation and discoloration, which complicates its incorporation into cosmetic products. To overcome this challenge, more stable derivatives have been created, including water-soluble variants such as ActiBiso-VCE, ActiBiso-MAP, and ActiBiso-SAP. ActiBiso-VCT is particularly notable for its remarkable stability at higher temperatures and excellent solubility in oils. It effectively penetrates the skin, converting into free vitamin C to deliver its physiological benefits, making it ideal for a variety of skincare and beauty formulations.

Key Benefits and Features:

1. Effective Skin Penetration:ActiBiso-VCT is adept at penetrating the skin, allowing for the full physiological benefits of vitamin C.

2. Tyrosinase Activity Inhibition:It reduces the activity of intracellular tyrosinase, thus decreasing melanin production and promoting a brighter skin tone.

3. Protection Against UV Damage: ActiBiso-VCT helps mitigate cellular and DNA damage from UV exposure, safeguarding the skin.

4. Lipid Peroxidation Prevention:It assists in preventing lipid peroxidation, which can slow the aging process of the skin.

5. Compatibility with Cosmetic Oils: Its solubility in various oil formulations enhances its application in cosmetic products.

6. Antioxidant Properties: ActiBiso-VCT demonstrates superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, enhancing its antioxidant capabilities.

7. Heat and Oxidation Stability:It remains stable under heat and oxidative conditions, ensuring lasting efficacy in formulations.

8. Reduced Discoloration: It shows significantly less discoloration compared to traditional vitamin C, making it more appealing for cosmetic use.

9. Support for Cell Regeneration:ActiBiso-VCT promotes cellular regeneration, contributing to overall skin health.
