High-Quality Antioxidant (RSPO-SG and MB): INCI Ascorbyl Palmitate CAS 137-66-6
Satcotek distributes Ascorbyl Palmitate, a white or slightly yellowish powder that is readily soluble in alcohols and fatty oils but has low water solubility. It is highly color-stable and compatible with most cosmetic emollients, making it a valuable ingredient in skincare formulations.
Production and Composition of Ascorbyl Palmitate
Ascorbyl Palmitate is a vitamin C derivative, synthesized from ascorbic acid and either palmitoyl chloride or RSPO-SG certified palmitic acid. This unique composition allows it to function effectively as a source of vitamin C while maintaining stability in formulations.

Cosmetic Applications and Benefits
Ascorbyl Palmitate is used as an antioxidant in cosmetic products at concentrations between 0.01% and 0.2%. It protects skin cells against UV-A and UV-B radiation, while also preventing the oxidation of plant oils in formulations. Due to its lipophilic properties, it is particularly effective in the oil phase of cosmetic products. When combined with tocopherol in a 2:1 ratio, it becomes an especially potent antioxidant for unsaturated fatty acids in oils.

Anti-Aging and Skin Brightening Effects
This ingredient stimulates collagen synthesis, making it ideal for anti-aging skincare. Additionally, Ascorbyl Palmitate reduces melanin formation, which contributes to its use in skin-whitening products. Through enzymatic reactions, it is converted into ascorbic acid, which prevents melanin oxidation and enhances its skin-lightening effect.
