What is L-ascorbic Acid?
Generally, most people know vitamin C for its benefits when fighting the common cold or to treat scurvy; however, vitamin C plays a significant role in maintaining the healthy functioning of the skin.
L-ascorbic acid is one of the two forms of vitamin C found in nature and is the most biologically active, meaning it is the most beneficial.
L-ascorbic acid's potency makes it the preferred form of vitamin C for most dermatological and skincare products. L-ascorbic acid's full name may look a little daunting, but it just refers to a specific structure of vitamin C.
Ascorbic acid is the name of vitamin C in the body, and L in L-ascorbic acid refers to the way the molecule rotates to light.
L-ascorbic acid is found in nature in fruits and vegetables such as oranges, broccoli, leafy greens, grapefruit, and peppers. It is also found in sources such as Kakadu Plum and Hibiscus, sources used in clean beauty vitamin C products.
Unfortunately, the amount of vitamin C in these sources is impacted by cooking and its freshness. This impact is partly due to the breakdown of L-ascorbic acid that occurs when it is exposed to air, high temperatures, and water. Most balanced diets will provide your body with enough vitamin C to support your health. However, naturally occurring sources aren't stable enough or contain enough vitamin C to improve the skin's appearance. This is why L-ascorbic acid used in products is often synthetically sourced.
The Benefits:
Applying vitamin C to the skin in serum, powder, or oil form may help your skin to receive the benefits of vitamin C.
This is why topical vitamin C treatments are employed by dermatologists to help improve the appearance of textured skin, pigmentation, acne, and firmness.
