Encapsulated pure vitamin C is a form of L-ascorbic acid protected by encapsulation technology. It addresses a classic challenge of pure vitamin C in cosmetics: its sensitivity to oxidation, light, and heat, which limits its use in free form.
Encapsulation technology wraps the L-ascorbic acid molecule in a protective shell that preserves it until contact with the skin. Upon application, the capsule breaks and releases the active vitamin C in its full integrity. This encapsulated form is associated, according to available data, with better storage stability, helping maintain vitamin C activity until application.
Once released, vitamin C exerts its properties documented in scientific literature. Antioxidant activity: linked to protection against oxidative stress, one of the factors contributing to dull complexion. Support for skin structure mechanisms: linked to supporting mechanisms involved in maintaining skin structure, themselves related to the appearance of firmness. Complexion regulation: linked to regulation of melanogenesis (tyrosinase enzyme), for visible reduction of pigmentation irregularities and visible complexion radiance.
The encapsulated form contributes to a complexion that appears brighter and more even over time, with an improved tolerance profile compared to free pure vitamin C.
SPF 50 sun protection is recommended the following morning.
In summary, a stabilized and better-tolerated form of pure vitamin C, associated with antioxidant protection, support of skin structure, and visible complexion evenness.
⚠️ Not recommended combination: do not use simultaneously with products containing copper peptides (Copper Tripeptide-1). Vitamin C can oxidize the copper in these peptides, reducing the effectiveness of both actives. If you use both actives, reserve vitamin C for the morning and copper peptides for the evening.
