Benefits of Vitamin C

A powerhouse ingredient, Vitamin C is the key to glowing skin! The gift that just keeps on giving, Vitamin C offers exfoliation and antioxidant benefits, helps even out skin tone, boosts collagen synthesis, protects skin from nasties, boosts hydration and maintains overall skin radiance.

Here’s four benefits of using Vitamin C in your skincare routine that you may not know:

• Vitamin C is a collagen precursor meaning it’s an essential vitamin necessary for the fibroblast to produce strong structural collagen
• It’s a powerful and stable antioxidant meaning it can help protect cells from free radical damage commonly caused by pollution, environmental toxins, stress, and diet to name a few!
• Provides additional photo-defence to help protect collagen and elastin proteins from UV damage
• Forms a protective umbrella around the cell to shield from pigment transfer which helps to prevent the formation of pigmentation

 To enhance the benefits of Vitamin C, O Cosmedics combines Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate with Hemp Seed Oil for the ultimate liquid gold for the skin. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is the only oil-soluble form of Vitamin C with unique penetrating qualities to help even out skin tone, stimulate collagen synthesis and age-proof the skin.

 Hemp Seed Oil is every skin’s essential oil, rich with Omega Fatty Acids with intense hydration, nourishing and soothing properties. Omega 3 and 6 doses the skin with all the “good oil” the skin needs to support a normal barrier function, essential for healthier, younger-looking skin. The high anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial benefits of Hemp Seed Oils provides comfort and support for even sensitive, dehydrated and problematic skins without irritation or clogging.
