Active ingredient
Ascorbyl Propyl Hyaluronate
A hybrid molecule formed by esterification of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with the carboxyl groups of hyaluronic acid via a propyl linker. Combines the antioxidant/brightening properties of ascorbic acid with the humectant properties of hyaluronic acid. The ester bond provides improved stability versus free L-ascorbic acid while still hydrolyzing to release the active forms. Used in multi-functional serums for combined brightening, antioxidant, and hydration benefits.

Benefits
- ✓Dual-function active combining vitamin C (ascorbic acid) antioxidant/brightening activity with hyaluronic acid hydration in a single molecule
- ✓More stable than L-ascorbic acid at physiological pH due to the ester bond that protects the ascorbate moiety from oxidation
- ✓Hydrolyzes gradually on skin to release free ascorbic acid and hyaluronic acid at the site of action
No known watch-fors.
Compatibility
✓ Works well with
+ Sodium Hyaluronate+ Niacinamide+ Ferulic Acid
