Vitamin C Serum. Not all Vitamin C Serums are created equal. Here are 3 major Vitamin C Serum mistakes you didn’t know you were making.
Not all Vitamin Cs are the same. Vitamin C comes in a lot of different forms. For example, ascorbic acid is one form of Vitamin C, but it can actually cause acne and irritation when applied topically. Ascorbic Acid is also a particularly reactive form of the vitamin. This means that the ascorbic acid readily loses its potency, or oxidizes, in the presence of oxygen. Oxygen is a key component in water, and in the air. This means that if your C Serum is made with Ascorbic Acid, there is a good chance that it is oxidized, especially if it is immersed in water. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, on the other hand, is a stable, water-soluble yet gentle form of Vitamin C. This means it is easily absorbed by the skin and can penetrate deep to stimulate collagen production. Sano Naturals Vitamin C Serum is made with Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate for maximum safety and absorption. The use of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate also means the more likely a Serum is to resist oxidation, and stay potent longer, ...

2. Your Vitamin C Serum shouldn’t be scented. Natural Vitamin C is odorless. Any fragrance – even a citrus fragrance – is probably a synthetic additive. This can lead to breakouts and skin irritation. Sano Naturals Vitamin C Serum is odorless, natural & organic because what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body. For that reason, you do not want any artificial or synthetic additives in a topical serum. It’s been reported that many synthetic fragrances found in skincare products are allergens, and could potentially be neurotoxins or phthalates. These types of artificial or synthetic fragrances should be kept out of any skin care routine. Sano Naturals is committed to having zero synthetic fragrances in their products.
3. Your Vitamin C Serum shouldn’t be colored. Pure Vitamin C is colorless. If your Vitamin C Serum is colored this means 1 of 2 things: First, either it has oxidized, which means it is ineffective. Or it has a color additive. When a Vitamin C Serum oxidizes, it typically turns brown. On the other hand, if your C Serum is another color, it could potentially have an artificial color added in. This is not natural, and can lead to clogged pores and skin breakouts. Sano Naturals Vitamin has no artificial additives, and therefore is colorless.
