Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C Powder is a food-grade L-ascorbic acid powder used both as a supplement ingredient and in cosmetic formulation. It is a white crystalline powder, water soluble, and useful in water-phase products where direct vitamin C is wanted. This is a raw ingredient rather than a finished supplement or ready-made serum. In cosmetic use it is best suited to lower-pH water-based systems.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock this ascorbic acid because it offers one simple, high-purity ingredient that works across both food and cosmetic making. It is especially useful for ingredient-led routines that want direct L-ascorbic acid rather than a pre-blended formula.
