Stability and Efficacy Enhancement of Vitamin C Powder via Developing a Serum – Two Phase System, A New Inception in Vitamin C Delivery

Abstract

Vitamin C (Vit C) is a potent antioxidant with several applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields. However, the biggest challenge in the utilization of Vit C is to maintain its stability and improve its delivery to the active site. Several strategies have been developed such as: controlling the oxygen levels during formulation and storage, low pH, reduction of water content in the formulation and the addition of preservative agents. In this article, we highlighted the multiple applications of Vit C and the development of novel serum formulation to enhance its delivery and stability during the application.
