Q: Is Ascorbic Acid the same as vitamin C?
A: Yes. L-ascorbic acid is the commonly used food and cosmetic form of vitamin C.

Q: Is it a food preservative?
A: It is primarily an antioxidant rather than an antimicrobial preservative. It can help slow oxidation but does not replace a suitable microbial preservation system.

Q: Can it be added to hot products?
A: It can be used in processed foods, but extended exposure to heat, air and light can reduce vitamin C content.

Q: Can it be used directly as a facial powder?
A: No. It should be incorporated into a properly formulated water-based cosmetic product at a suitable concentration and pH.
