Oil-soluble form of vitamin C.  Potent antioxidant. Can improve appearance of aged and fragile skin
Widely used as add-on ingredient in skin-lightening products to correct hyperpigmentation and age spots
Antioxidant effect can be increased by combining L-ascorbyl palmitate with L-ascorbic acid and/or vitamin E

Use: Add to hot fat phase or emulsifier phase of formulas; if it does not dissolve completely add vitamin C and some oil to a mortar and blend the mixture thoroughly with the pestle; suitable solvent: ethoxydiglycol; typical concentration 0.2-3 %. For external use only.  f you are finding it hard to mix into the oil phase then mix with oil and add at cool-down about 40 deg.  If you find a little sedimentation, then a little filtering might be the easiest way to solve the problem.  (might be easier than rebatching)

Applications: Lotions, creams, sun care & after sun products, shampoos, makeup products.
