Vitamin C - The power vitamin for beautiful skin

Water-soluble Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is probably the best-known vitamin. In selected products, we use the high-quality Vitamin C derivatives Ascorbyl Glucoside (water-soluble) and Ascorbyl Palmitate (oil-soluble). These two ingredients can protect your skin as significant radical scavengers against oxidative damage.

A brief history: The name ascorbic acid already shows how essential vitamin C is for physical health. The Latin term "ascorbus" translates to "no scurvy." This well-known vitamin deficiency disease was the downfall of many sailors on their expeditions in past centuries. In the 18th century, the fight against the disease was finally launched. It was discovered that especially citrus fruits, green vegetables like broccoli, but also strawberries contain a high amount of vitamin C. Thus, vitamin-rich foods became a fixed part of the provisions.

Today we know that vitamin C is not only important for health but also for skin care and especially facial care.

A little input for your beauty knowledge: Pure Vitamin C is difficult to incorporate into skincare products because it is a rather unstable ingredient. Therefore, cosmetics mainly rely on more stable Vitamin C derivatives, i.e., variants. These act as significant radical scavengers and can protect your skin from oxidative damage. Vitamin C can counteract harmful oxidation processes in and on the cells and promote skin regeneration.

In addition, Vitamin C can help with skin impurities, pimples, and acne thanks to its anti-inflammatory effect. Your skin can also benefit from Vitamin C in cases of hyperpigmentation (dark spots).

Due to harmful environmental influences, stress, unhealthy diet, little sleep, and the natural aging process, your skin can lose its radiance – it becomes "duller" and loses elasticity. Larger pores, dry skin, and wrinkles caused by the natural collagen breakdown with age can make the complexion appear less "rosy" and vital, and the natural glow diminishes. 

But you can counteract this with our help! With valuable anti-aging ingredients that firm your skin again and protect it from free radicals. Our invigorating, revitalizing ingredients, like Vitamin C, help with this.


Powerful collagen fibers

Vitamin C is essential for the formation of firm and stable collagen fibers. Collagen fibers are important protein molecules that form and strengthen the skin's connective tissue. Strong collagen fibers ensure firm skin and thus counteract signs of skin aging. A good supply of Vitamin C helps your skin in the formation and maintenance of connective tissue.
