Many forms of Vitamin C are available on the market and that may cause difficulty in determining the best selection. There are several types of unstable forms of Vitamin C, such as L-Ascorbic acid. Although L-Ascorbic acid is commonly used in our industry, it is a form of vitamin c that is considered unstable. Studies show that L-Ascorbic Acid is difficult to deliver into the dermis in the optimum dosage. Therefore, research has turned towards finding more stable forms of Vitamin C. The most stable type of Vitamin C was discovered within the last 10 years. It’s a compound called BV-OSC. BV-OSC is the trade name. However, the scientific name of this ingredient which, will be found on the product’s ingredient label is Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate.
