VcOS

Vitamin C has many functions as a cosmetic ingredient, including skin lightening, promoting collagen synthesis and inhibiting lipid peroxidation, etc. But, Vitamin C is unstable and not beneficial to practical application.

Through advanced technology to modify the molecular structure of Vc, VcOS has been developed by ANECO.

1. Excellent percutaneous absorption 

2. Lipid-soluble, strong transdermal absorption effect

3. Ultra-maintaining and stable, long-lasting effect

4. Promote skin cell regeneration

• Promote cell metabolism and collagen synthesis

• Whitening effect, inhibit melanin synthesisInhibit DNA damage and slow down ultraviolet damage to cells

• Hair care effect (mentioned in some products)

Q1: Can VcOS withstand high temperatures? How about the stability?

A1: It is oil-soluble and heat-resistant. It will not destroy the emulsification system after being added. Our VcOS 2% emulsion remains stable and does not change color for 60 days when the pH value is between 5.0 and 5.5. We form an ester bond (-COOR) between the four hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the VC molecule and isopalmitic acid (a branched-chain fatty acid). The ester bond is much more structurally stable than the enediol (the active site of VC), is less prone to oxidation, and the four larger isopalmitic acid chains wrap around the VC core, forming a physical barrier and also protecting the easily oxidized enediol structure.

Q2: Although VcOS has a macromolecular structure, why does it still have excellent transdermal absorption?

A2: Although the molecular structure of VcOS is relatively large, its structure is similar to that of the lipid in the stratum corneum. Coupled with its oil-soluble characteristics, it has a high affinity for the stratum corneum and enables it to quickly penetrate the cell membrane, possessing excellent transdermal properties.
