Ascorbyl palmitate is made by combining ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with palmitic acid.
Ascorbyl palmitate is sensitive to the UV radiation in sunlight and spending time in the sun should be avoided if you’re using skin care products containing it.
Technically speaking, ascorbyl palmitate is a synthetic ingredient made by combining two natural ingredients together. This is in stark contrast to artificial antioxidants like tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) which is made using petrochemicals and is not approved for use in countries including Japan.
