Contrary to the hype, most vitamin C cosmetics and topicals
on the market today fall far short of their promises, many delivering
less than 0.02% Vitamin C content. One liquid product that
has capitalized on the vitamin C cosmetic craze starts out with
about 10% vitamin C, but quickly oxidizes right in the
dropper bottle and turns dark yellow. This means the vitamin
C is being degraded, as this chart shows. Another product starts
off with about 4.5%, then degrades even faster. Even under
the best circumstances, these serums degrade rapidly. The formulation
and metabolite composition of Ester-C®
Topical are very different from any other vitamin C product.
The composition of this liquid concentrate is unique and a new
patent has been applied for. The Ester-C®
mineral ascorbate/metabolite complex that goes into this liquid
concentrate is already protected by U.S. and international patents.
With the invention of Ester-C®
Topical, Inter-Cal has achieved what cosmetic and dermatological
scientists have labored over - and dreamed of- for
years.
