Satcotek – Your Distributor for Ascorbyl Isostearate
Satcotek specializes in the distribution of Ascorbyl Isostearate, an oil-soluble and liquid antioxidant. Due to its low water solubility, it remains highly stable in formulations. Unlike ascorbyl palmitate or stearate, Ascorbyl Isostearate does not require heating, making it easy to incorporate into cosmetic products with most emollients in cold processes.
Composition and Use for Ascorbyl Isostearate in Cosmetics
Ascorbyl Isostearate is a derivative of vitamin C, synthesized from ascorbic acid and iso-stearic acid. It serves as an effective antioxidant in cosmetic formulations, typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.01% to 0.2%. This ingredient offers both skin protection and formulation stability, particularly by shielding plant oils from oxidation.
Benefits for Skin Health and Anti-Aging
One of the key advantages of Ascorbyl Isostearate is its ability to protect skin cells from harmful UV-A and UV-B radiation. Additionally, it stimulates collagen synthesis, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging products. By promoting collagen production, it helps maintain skin elasticity and reduces signs of aging.
Skin-Whitening and Brightening Effects
Ascorbyl Isostearate is also used in skin-whitening products due to its ability to reduce melanin formation. Through enzymatic hydrolysis, it breaks down into ascorbic acid and fatty acid. The released ascorbic acid prevents melanin oxidation, resulting in a brightening effect on the skin. This makes it an excellent choice for formulations targeting hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
