Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant known for its brightening properties. But did you know it’s also incredibly sensitive to light, heat, and air? Without proper #stability, your Vitamin C product might lose its effectiveness before it reaches the skin. 

The solution? 🔬 Stability testing ensures that your Vitamin C formulation remains effective over time. This means that every drop of your serum or cream is packed with all the benefits you expect, from the first use to the last. 

Discover stability testing services on Covalo and make sure your formulations stand the test of time! https://hubs.ly/Q02LdwlR0

🍋 Enhancing the efficacy of Vitamin C through advanced encapsulation 🍋

Recent developments in #encapsulation technologies, such as micro and nanoencapsulation, have improved the stability and bioavailability of Vitamin C. These methods protect Vitamin C from environmental degradation, ensuring its potent #antioxidant properties are preserved for targeted delivery to specific areas of the body and skin.

Innovative delivery systems are further enhancing Vitamin C’s penetration through biological barriers, significantly increasing its effectiveness. For instance, liposomal systems encapsulate Vitamin C in lipid layers, safeguarding it against degradation and enhancing its absorption through the skin. 💧

Challenge accepted: Formulating an efficient Vitamin C serum with #natural ingredients 🍊

Natalie Skiller, Cosmetic formulator and founder of Sweet Little Crumb, wanted to create a Vitamin C serum that was both effective and natural, all on a budget.

Vitamin C can be a difficult ingredient to formulate with because of its stability issues: exposure to light, air, and heat can degrade vitamin C, rendering it ineffective. pH levels and compatibility with other ingredients further complicate the process.
