We are talking about vitamin C again at Atache! It has so many benefits that we love sharing its secrets with you. Today we are going to understand the why behind its different formulations and its action, and, in particular, liposomal vitamin C. Pay attention!
The skin needs high concentrations of vitamin C to stimulate collagen and maintain antioxidant protection against UV rays. Since our body does not produce it itself, it is necessary to reinforce the nutritional intake of vitamins in the epidermis.
This layer of the skin, the epidermis, is the outermost one and lacks blood vessels that transport substances ingested orally. Therefore, the addition of vitamin C topically becomes necessary. Furthermore, we encounter another difficulty: the stratum corneum. The last layer of the epidermis acts as a barrier that prevents the passage of many substances, especially the most soluble and unstable ones like vitamin C. This is why the choice of the vitamin C formulation in dermocosmetics is of vital importance to achieve its absorption and antioxidant action in the epidermis.
Throughout time, derivatives of vitamin C have been used that managed to be more stable than the form of pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid), although less effective. Until Atache achieved the stability of the molecule for the first time in history in 1995, developing the famous C Vital Serum + Fluid. With this product, we managed to have a vitamin C that would penetrate all levels of the epidermis and arrive intact in its antioxidant power to be truly effective against photodamage.
But we weren't going to stop there! Years later, technological advances and more recent studies have pointed out that the encapsulation of vitamin C in liposomes can help with transport to the lower layers of the epidermis and have greater absorption. Hence, Atache immersed itself in the development of its new product. Blast C Antioxidant Cream, with liposomal vitamin C among other active ingredients, completes the antioxidant treatment provided by its well-known pure vitamin C serum.
While it is true that in recent years we have often heard about liposomes, are we clear on what they are? Liposomes are small spherical cells that are composed of an outer layer made of fatty acids known as phospholipids. They are nanoparticles that, due to their tiny size, infiltrate the deepest layers of the epidermis.
Since there is greater penetration, there is greater activity. Studies carried out show that the release of liposomes into the epidermis is more than 1000% higher compared to the non-liposomal product. It also prevents the degradation of vitamin C and provides greater stability in the emulsion.
But most importantly, it produces a long-lasting effect. When liposomal vitamin C is applied to the skin, enzymes gradually dissociate it into ascorbic acid, producing a sustained release and thereby a longer duration of its action.
That is why Blast C Antioxidant Cream, due to its cocktail of liposomal antioxidants and probiotics, can act with great effectiveness. Whether used as a daily cream or with the Serum+Fluid, it ensures that dose of vitamin C that all skin needs.
In short, C Vital continues to provide us with new solutions with high antioxidant capacity, slowing down aging processes, capturing free radicals, and deactivating them. We recommend that you try it to experience its anti-aging and tone-unifying effect and that you give us your opinion on this new product.
