• Patch test before first use and discontinue if irritation occurs
• Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight

Q: Why can the oil look slightly cloudy after dissolving?
A: Ascorbyl palmitate may not always form a perfectly clear solution in every oil type, even at higher temperatures.

Q: Can I use it in a water-based serum?
A: It is not water soluble, so it is best used in oils or incorporated into emulsions.

Q: Does it replace all other Vitamin C types?
A: It is one option among several Vitamin C forms and is often chosen for oil compatibility and stability.
