Sodium ascorbate is the sodium salt of ascorbic acid, formed by neutralization of its enolic hydroxyl group. It is more stable than free ascorbic acid at neutral pH and less irritating, making it suitable for sensitive, aging, or dry skin. In the skin, it is enzymatically converted back to active ascorbic acid, providing gentler yet effective antioxidant and collagen-supporting benefits.
Sodium Ascorbate
Sodium Ascorbate is a stable, less acidic form of Vitamin C that delivers potent antioxidant and collagen-boosting benefits to the skin. It neutralizes reactive oxygen species, supports collagen and elastin synthesis, and helps protect against UV-induced damage and premature aging. With improved stability and gentler skin compatibility compared to pure ascorbic acid, Sodium Ascorbate is an effective and well-tolerated active for brightening, firming, and skin-repair formulations.
