Ascorbyl Palmitate Powder (Ascorbic Acid 6-Palmitate) is a fat-soluble derivative of vitamin C created by combining ascorbic acid with palmitic acid. Unlike standard water-soluble vitamin C, Ascorbyl Palmitate is better suited for oil-based formulations, lipid systems, and products where antioxidant protection in fats and oils is desired. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, and specialty formulations for its ability to support antioxidant protection, help maintain product stability, and contribute to overall cellular wellness.
In supplemental and formulation use, Ascorbyl Palmitate Powder is commonly incorporated into capsules, softgels, lipid-based blends, functional powders, skincare products, and antioxidant formulations. Because it is lipophilic, it can help protect fats and oils from oxidation while also serving as a source of vitamin C activity in specialized products designed to support cellular protection, healthy skin, and overall wellness.
Ascorbyl Palmitate is especially valued for its role in antioxidant defense and formulation stability. It can help protect lipid components from oxidative degradation and is often used alongside other antioxidants such as vitamin E to support product freshness and stability. In the body, vitamin C contributes to collagen synthesis, immune function, antioxidant defense, and normal connective tissue health, while the palmitate portion improves compatibility with oil-based environments.
Modern research on Ascorbyl Palmitate has examined its antioxidant activity, lipid-phase stability, and role as a vitamin C derivative in both nutritional and cosmetic applications. It is widely recognized as a useful antioxidant ingredient in formulations where standard ascorbic acid may not be ideal because of its water solubility or lower stability in lipid systems.
Each batch of Ascorbyl Palmitate Powder (Ascorbic Acid 6-Palmitate) is carefully processed to preserve its purity, consistency, and functional quality. The fine powder is suitable for dietary supplement formulations, oil-based blends, cosmetic products, functional foods, and antioxidant systems intended to support product stability, antioxidant protection, and overall wellness.
Also Known As: Vitamin C Ester, Ascorbic Acid Palmitate, L-Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Vitamin C Palmitate, E304
Nutrients: Ascorbyl palmitate, an ester formed from ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and palmitic acid
Notes: Ascorbyl Palmitate is a fat-soluble derivative of vitamin C produced by esterifying ascorbic acid with palmitic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid. Unlike ordinary ascorbic acid, which is water-soluble, Ascorbyl Palmitate has greater compatibility with fats and oils, making it particularly useful in oil-based foods, dietary supplements, nutritional formulations, cosmetics, and personal-care products. It is commonly used as an antioxidant to help protect oils and other oxidation-sensitive ingredients from deterioration. Ascorbyl Palmitate also serves as a source of vitamin C after enzymatic hydrolysis, although it should not be considered equivalent gram-for-gram to pure ascorbic acid because part of its molecular weight comes from the attached palmitate portion. In cosmetic and skincare formulations, it is valued as an oil-compatible vitamin C derivative and antioxidant ingredient. As a food additive, Ascorbyl Palmitate is also known internationally as E304. It is generally supplied as a white to off-white powder and has limited solubility in water, distinguishing it from conventional Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) powder.
