PE1-Aqua Compatibility with Different Vitamin C Forms

Yes, PE1-Aqua, being a water-soluble penetration enhancer, can be used to help deliver water-soluble forms of Vitamin C into the skin.

Here are the types of Vitamin C and their solubility:

• Water-Soluble Vitamin C forms that can be used with PE1-Aqua:

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) (Ultra-Fine)
  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) (Fine)
  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) (Standard)
  • Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
  • Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
  • Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

• Oil-Soluble Vitamin C forms that cannot be used with PE1-Aqua:

  • Vitamin C Ester (Ascorbyl Palmitate, Enzymatic)
  • Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate)

In summary, if you are using a water-soluble type of Vitamin C, PE1-Aqua can help improve its penetration. If you are using an oil-soluble type, PE1-Aqua will not be effective for delivery.
