Say

hello

to a superior C serum

You should never see water as an ingredient on your vitamin C serum label.

Why?

Anhydrous (waterless) formulations preserve the efficacy and shelf-life of vitamin C, meaning you are using a more effective antioxidant when using an anhydrous formulation.

If your Vitamin C serum is brownish, sticky or has an unpleasant smell it has likely degraded due to oxidation due to water in the formula.

how does vitamin c work?

Tetrahexlydecyl Ascorbate (THD Ascorbate) is a lipid soluble form of vitamin C that's known to be 50x more effective than standard L-Ascorbic acid. Lipid soluble vitamin C is considered superior simply because it absorbs into the fatty layers of skin more easily than water-soluble alternatives.

"Vitamin C is not always stable when formulated because it's very sensitive to light and tends to break down when mixed with water.
This is why many C-serums look brownish or yellow. If your vitamin c has a brownish color to it, it won't do it's job because it's already breaking down.
This is exactly why I had to formulate my own vitamin C – without water."

water v.s. lipid-soluble vitamins

Lipid-soluble vitamins dissolve in fat (rather than water) and can stay in your body for up to 6 months – whereas water-soluble vitamins are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Water-soluble vitamins aren’t stored in the body long-term. They enter your bloodstream and anything our bodies don't need immediately is purged via urine. ‌Since water-soluble vitamins don’t hang around long in the bloodstream, they need to be replenished frequently.
