Ingredient Spotlight:
BV-OSC is an active form of Vitamin C which improves collagen synthesis. While ascorbic acid is considered superior by many chemists. A major drawback to using the ascorbic acid is that it can be irritating and is very volatile in personal care formulations.
Why we use BV-OSC
We chose BV-OSC because it is much more stable form of Vitamin C which is easier to formulate into skincare and personal care products. It is known to protect the skin cells against UV-B better than other esters of Vitamin C.
