Description

3-o-Dodecylcarbomethylascorbicacid is a lipophilic derivative of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), designed for enhanced stability and compatibility with non-aqueous systems. This modification is critical for applications requiring the antioxidant and skin-brightening properties of Vitamin C in oil-based or anhydrous formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking advanced, stable active ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: As a stabilized Vitamin C derivative in anti-aging serums, creams, and lotions for antioxidant protection and skin brightening.
• Hair Care Formulations: Incorporated into oils and treatments to protect hair from oxidative damage and improve shine.
• Functional Food & Nutraceuticals: Used as a lipid-soluble antioxidant in oil-based supplement delivery systems.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: As an active ingredient in ointments and medicated creams for dermatological benefits.
• Industrial Antioxidants: For stabilizing oils, lubricants, and polymer precursors against oxidative degradation.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Serving as a specialty intermediate or modifier in organic synthesis and material science.

Quality Control

Our 3-o-Dodecylcarbomethylascorbicacid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for cosmetic and pharmaceutical-grade intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize moisture uptake.
