Sodium Ascorbate

( 221 )

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.

FEATURES AND KIENTICS

Stable, gentle, and effective vitamin C delivery

Sodium Ascorbate is a neutral-pH salt form of vitamin C, offering enhanced stability and reduced irritation compared to ascorbic acid. It is gradually converted in the skin to active vitamin C, supporting collagen synthesis, antioxidant defense, and skin brightening with a gentler profile suitable for sensitive or aging skin.

Neutral pH, non-irritating

Greater stability than ascorbic acid

Gradual release of active ascorbate

Sustained antioxidant protection

Supports collagen synthesis & repair

Suitable for sensitive and dry skin

Mechanism of Action

Collagen Cofactor – Provides ascorbate ions that act as essential cofactors for prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases, promoting stable collagen synthesis and skin repair.

Antioxidant Protection – Scavenges ROS and regenerates oxidized vitamin E, reducing oxidative stress and photoaging.

Skin Tone Regulation – Inhibits tyrosinase activity, lowering melanin synthesis for brighter, more even skin.
