Q: Why is pH important for vitamin C formulas?
A: L-ascorbic acid performance and stability are strongly influenced by pH and formulation design.

Q: Can I mix it into my cream by hand?
A: It dissolves in water, so it generally needs a water phase and proper mixing for even distribution.

Q: Why does vitamin C sometimes discolour?
A: Oxidation can cause yellowing or browning, so good packaging, antioxidants and formulation choices matter.
