Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Explained

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a stable form of Vitamin C.

This ingredient helps boost collagen, reduce redness, improve skin texture, reduce the effects of aging, reduce the visibility of dark spots, and brighten skin.

Your skin uses Vitamin C to produce collagen and collagen production plays a role in having a strong skin barrier and having plump skin. As an antioxidant, this ingredient also helps reduce the signs of aging such as fine-lines and wrinkles.

Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate has the ability to penetrate skin because it is oil-soluble. It can travel deeper into skin than traditional ascorbic acid while maintaining the same skin benefits (double win!).
