Vitamin C Ester (Ascorbyl Palmitate)

About Vitamin C Ester (Ascorbyl Palmitate)

Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble vitamin C ester combining ascorbic acid with palmitic acid, offering enhanced stability and bioavailability. This pharmaceutical-grade antioxidant provides dual functionality as both a nutrient and natural preservative in supplement formulations. Unlike standard vitamin C, this ester form resists oxidation and maintains potency in challenging manufacturing conditions. Essential for formulators creating liposomal products, softgels, and oil-based supplements where traditional ascorbic acid proves unstable. The lipophilic nature enables cellular penetration and sustained release, making it valuable for premium antioxidant complexes and anti-aging formulations requiring extended shelf stability.
