WHAT MAKES OUR FORMULA DIFFERENT?

MATTER OF FACT VITAMIN C 2.0

Using our patent pending technology, we are able to dissolve high concentrations of Ascorbic Acid in waterless systems.

  • Stable
  • Potent
  • Silky smooth texture

WATER-CONTAINING SOLUTIONS

These formulas are potent and smooth, but often degrade more quickly than users would like.

  • Stable
  • Potent
  • Silky smooth texture

WATERLESS SUSPENSIONS

Because of the lack of water, these formulas are stable; however, because the Vitamin C crystals are not dissolved, they tend to feel sandy or gritty, and can ball up when used with other products.

  • Stable
  • Potent
  • Silky smooth texture

OTHER WATERLESS SOLUTIONS

These formulas are stable and smooth, but are unable to deliver higher concentrations of Ascorbic Acid (15%+).

  • Stable
  • Potent
  • Silky smooth texture
