Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Chemical properties

1. Excellent transdermal absorption;
2. Inhibit intracellular tyrosinase activity and melanin production;
3. Reduce cell/DNA damage caused by UV (anti-UV/anti-stress);
4. Prevent lipid peroxidation and skin aging (anti-oxidation);
5. Good solubility in common cosmetic oils;
6. SOD-like activity (antioxidant);
7. Collagen synthesis and collagen protection (anti-aging);
8. Stable to heat and oxidation.

Physical properties

An oil-soluble vitamin C derivative with antioxidant, melanin inhibition and whitening properties. Similar to VC, it is easily absorbed by the skin, and the absorption rate is 16.5 times that of water-soluble vitamin C.

The Uses of Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate (CAS# 183476-82-6) is a derivative of L-ascorbic acid (A786990) and is found in topicals and cosmetics as a skin hydrating component. Its inclusion in cosmetics is due to its increased stability compared to its parent form.

Chemical Reactivity

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate play a role in cosmetic, including skin lightening, promotion of collagen synthesis, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. As a derivative of vitamin C, it is stable at high temperatures and has excellent skin absorption. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate can be decomposed into free vitamin C in the skin to achieve physiological functions.
