Vitamin C
Fun fact! Vitamin C in its original form (L-Ascorbic Acid) becomes oxidized and loses efficacy quickly with time. Its derivative, Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (EAE), delivers ultra-stable and long lasting benefits of Vitamin C without decrease of potency – and is usually the preferred alternative when used in skincare. Reminder: higher percentages and purest forms are not always the best options when it comes to Vitamin C.
One more thing to keep in mind is to always pair a Vitamin C product with a Broad Spectrum sunscreen, like Daily UV Defense to help the Vitamin C work harder for you. Sunscreen is a must even when you’re not using Vitamin C!
The secret is in the peel!
Vitamin C can be found naturally in a variety of fruits and vegetables – like Jeju Tangerines (Hallabong). This particular tangerine, native to Jeju Island, South Korea, is known to be super sweet and encased with a thick peel. It’s also known for its rich Vitamin C content—4X as much in its peel than its fruit! Its peel also contains various bioflavonoids like hesperidin, which has amazing antioxidant properties.
NEW! Brightening & Pore-caring Serum
Showcasing the Jeju Tangerine Peel is our Brightening & Pore-caring Serum. It’s a high-performance, daily brightening serum with a lightweight, antioxidant-rich formula. Loaded with Vitamin C-rich Tangerine Peel Extract and a cocktail of Vitamin C derivative, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Hyaluronic Acid, this serum is helps deliver an instantly more radiant, hydrated glow without the stickiness.
