Skin Nourishing Oil Formulation with Perfect-C™

Regarding your skin nourishing oil formulation containing natural oils, Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate), Mild Preserved Eco™, and Protec™ UV, you asked if Protec™ OX is also necessary.

Yes, it is highly recommended to include Protec™ OX in your formulation.

• Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) is an oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative. While it is more stable than some other forms of Vitamin C, it can still be susceptible to degradation through oxidation.
• Protec™ OX is an antioxidant specifically designed to protect ingredients like Vitamin C from deterioration caused by oxidation (free radicals). Its description indicates it is more effective than Vitamin E for this purpose.
• You are already including Protec™ UV, which is excellent for protecting ingredients from UV light damage, another factor that can degrade Vitamin C.

By including both Protec™ OX and Protec™ UV, you provide comprehensive protection for the Perfect-C™ in your oil formulation, helping to maintain its stability, efficacy, and the overall quality of your product over time. The description for Perfect-C™ itself recommends using both Protec™ OX and Protec™ UV.
