I received my order from Lotioncrafters today and I was still wondering to myself whether or not it was a good idea that I chose Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate over L-Ascorbic Acid. I was researching it again with a feeling of buyer's remorse for buying it. I did find some really good information about this new Vitamin C derivative which made me much happier. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a liquid and it doesn't oxidize in light or air. It has a shelf-life of 18 months!! Any cream you make is pH dependent to be effective. It is not irritating to the skin.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is made by taking the natural Vitamin C molecule and attaching 4 extra molecules to the corners of the Vitamin C molecule. This new molecule, called Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate has a number of important advantages. It is lipid soluble just like your skin which means that it easily penetrates into the skin. It does not require a low pH to get it to penetrate the skin so it does not sting. It stimulates your skin to make its own natural moisturizers called glycosaminoglycans. Glycosaminoglycans will allow your skin to absorb moisture from your body which reduces the need for applying other moisturizers. It is stable in air and water for up to 18 months which means it will work as an anti-oxidant long after you start using it. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is the active ingredient Sinclair Skincare Step 3 Ultra Sheer Gel.
