Topical-C Powder
Alternative to Vitamin c skincare products in plastic packaging.
Topical - C is a powdered vitamin c supplement for your face. Proven to boost collagen, fight sun damage, and firm skin, it dissolves + activates when mixed with your existing moisturizer or face serum. Applied daily, skin appears brighter with less visible fine lines + wrinkles.
Why it works
Vitamin C is a volatile ingredient. It's hard to stabilize and maintain, which means most products toting its benefits aren't nearly as effective as they could be. Somewhere between manufacturing and hitting shelves, the formulas lose their potency. Topical – C is different. This powdered form of vitamin C doesn't activate until you tell it to.
l-ascorbic acid—aka pure vitamin C— is mixed with a plant-based antioxidant called ferulic acid. Both are proven to stimulate collagen production and fight sun damage. The powder also includes tapioca starch derived from the roots of cassava plants, colloidal oatmeal, and aloe vera to exfoliate, soothe + heal the skin.
