Description

Vitamin C Powder – Bioactive Antioxidant Complex

A powerful system for skin renewal and defense.

The Science

L-ascorbic acid is Vitamin C in its purest, most active form—the exact molecule your skin recognizes and uses to protect, renew, and brighten itself.
Unlike derivative forms of Vitamin C, bioavailable L-ascorbic acid requires no conversion. It penetrates the skin barrier efficiently, is immediately utilized by skin cells, and delivers measurable results: antioxidant defense, collagen stimulation, improved tone, and visible regeneration.

In human physiology, Vitamin C is a required cofactor for collagen synthesis, a regulator of gene expression in dermal fibroblasts, and a critical antioxidant in both the epidermis and dermis. It’s one of the few topical actives proven to reverse oxidative damage at the molecular level.

The result: firmer, brighter, smoother skin that actively resists environmental stress.

L-Ascorbic Acid Benefits

Antioxidant Defense: Neutralizes UV- and pollution-related free radicals; regenerates Vitamin E; prevents oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, and proteins.
Collagen Biosynthesis: Stimulates collagen production for firmness; reduces wrinkles.
Immune Support: Essential for healthy tissue repair and immune defense.
Skin Brightening: Inhibits tyrosinase; fades dark spots; evens tone.
Healing & Repair: Accelerates wound healing and cellular regeneration.
Capillary Strength: Reduces redness and broken capillaries; improves circulation.
Barrier Protection: Reinforces hydration and lipid structure.
Anti-Inflammatory: Calms irritation; supports sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Texture Improvement: Promotes smooth, refined surface through healthy turnover.
UV Protection Synergy: Enhances sunscreen performance and photo-protection.

How to Use

With dry hands, open one capsule.
Mix powder with ~25 drops of water in your palm until dissolved.
Apply to clean, dry skin on face, ears, neck, and chest.
Massage gently until absorbed.
Wait 20–30 minutes before stepping outdoors.

Use daily in the morning or for immediate recovery following UV overexposure (including before, during or after flights).

First-time users: In case of mild stinging that continues after one week of use, we recommend a virtual consultation with our functional aesthetician to ensure optimal tolerance and barrier health.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid getting in eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children.

Duration

A 90-capsule bottle lasts six months when used at half a capsule per day for the face, or three months when applied to the face, ears, neck, and chest using a full capsule daily.
A 30-capsule bottle lasts two months when used at half a capsule per day for the face, or one month when applied to the face, ears, neck, and chest using a full capsule daily.

Why Powder, Not Serum

L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is chemically unstable in water. Once dissolved, it reacts with oxygen, forming dehydroascorbic acid—an oxidized, inactive compound.
This oxidation is accelerated by light, heat, and trace metals, meaning most water-based serums degrade within weeks.

Our anhydrous (water-free) powder avoids this process entirely. It stays inert until activated with water just before use—delivering freshly active Vitamin C that penetrates deeply and performs at full potency.

---

Stability & Storage

L-ascorbic acid is deactivated by exposure to oxygen (air and water), light, and elevated temperatures.

Store below 20 °C (68 °F); ideally at 4 °C (39 °F). Refrigerate for optimal stability.
Keep container sealed, dry, and protected from light.
Use the provided desiccant and oxygen absorber.
Avoid storing in bathrooms, near windows, or warm environments.
Limit single capsule opening to a maximum of 3–4 times to maintain potency and prevent oxidation.
Ensure the container or packet remains tightly sealed between uses.
(Close container immediately after dispensing one capsule.)

Oxidative Stress and Free Radicals

Today, scientists attribute 80–90% of visible aging to UV radiation, which triggers the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)—unstable molecules called free radicals.
These radicals steal electrons from lipids, proteins, and DNA, initiating oxidative stress that weakens cell membranes, breaks down collagen and elastin, disrupts pigmentation balance, and induces DNA mutations.
This process, known as photoaging, leads to long-term structural damage, progressive loss of skin integrity, and visible aging.

The cumulative effect shows as premature aging:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven tone and hyperpigmentation
Rough texture
Inflammation and barrier deterioration
Loss of firmness and elasticity

Antioxidants — The Skin’s Only Defense

Antioxidants are the body’s sole biochemical defense against oxidative stress.
They counteract this process by neutralizing free radicals before they can damage vital cellular components.
They work by safely donating electrons to these unstable molecules, stopping the oxidative chain reaction that leads to lipid peroxidation, protein degradation, and DNA mutations.

In doing so, antioxidants preserve collagen integrity, maintain barrier function, and support the skin’s natural ability to repair and renew itself.
Among all known antioxidants, L-ascorbic acid stands apart. It not only neutralizes ROS but also regenerates Vitamin E and strengthens the entire antioxidant network within the skin.
Without adequate antioxidants, oxidative stress goes unchecked—accelerating visible and structural aging.

Why Bioactive Matters

L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is powerful—but unstable. In isolation, it oxidizes quickly and loses potency.
Our Bioactive Complex recreates nature’s stabilizing system by pairing L-ascorbic acid with over 500 natural cofactors from organic Açaí, Camu-camu, Acerola, and Maqui berries.

This matrix of vitamins, flavonoids, and polyphenols stabilizes L-AA, prolongs its active state, and adds synergistic antioxidant protection that synthetic isolates cannot achieve.

---

The Synergy of Nature’s Richest Vitamin C Sources

Açaí, Camu-camu, Acerola, and Maqui are among the richest natural sources of L-ascorbic acid on Earth—each containing extraordinary concentrations of bioavailable Vitamin C and hundreds of synergistic phytonutrients that enhance stability and absorption.

Açaí Berry: High in anthocyanins and fatty acids; supports vascular integrity and reduces inflammation.
Camu-Camu: The world’s highest natural Vitamin C source; promotes collagen synthesis and pigment balance.
Acerola Cherry: Rich in carotenoids and polyphenols; enhances luminosity and post-inflammatory recovery.
Maqui Berry: Dense in delphinidins and flavonoids; strengthens UV defense and supports DNA protection.

Together they form a complete antioxidant network that stabilizes L-ascorbic acid, extends its lifespan, and drives dermal regeneration beyond what synthetic isolates can achieve.

The Philosophy

Human skin evolved to thrive on whole nutrients, not synthetic isolates.
By restoring Vitamin C to its complete natural matrix, this formula speaks the skin’s native biochemical language—supporting resilience, regeneration, and longevity from the cellular level upward.

Pure. Intelligent. Bioactive.
