Vitamin C

Vitamin C

Pure vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is the most important derivative of vitamin C used in the cosmetics industry. It is an active substance that is quickly absorbed into the skin and creates protection resistant to free radicals, toxins and sunlight. Natural vitamin C can be found in many fruits (such as citrus fruits, rose hips or broccoli) and is also produced synthetically for cosmetic purposes. Ascorbic acid is an unstable substance and only thanks to modern technology it can be kept active, which is why it is currently considered a rediscovered natural wonder.
