A-Z of Cosmetic Ingredients and Terms
Ascorbic Acid is commonly known as Vitamin C.
Forms of ascorbic acid which are stabilised, meaning they won’t break down in the product over time, may be used in makeup, as well as skin and hair care products.
Vitamin C can act as an antioxidant, which helps maintain the product’s quality when it is exposed to the air. It also has skin brightening properties, helping reduce uneven skin tone.
