Vitamins and antioxidants – actives for skin, hair and the stability of formulations

The vitamins and antioxidants category brings proven actives for improving skin comfort, supporting balance and protecting against oxidative stress. The range covers hydrophilic vitamins suited to the water phase as well as lipophilic derivatives ideal for oil serums, balms and emulsions.

Vitamins are chosen according to solubility (water/oil), the target pH and the type of product (serum, emulsion, oil-based care). Antioxidants also contribute to the stability of oil ingredients and fragrances over time, which improves the overall quality of the product. The complete documentation includes a safety data sheet (SDS), a certificate of analysis (COA) and an allergen list.

Hydrophilic vitamins (water phase)

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl) are easy to work into toners, serums and emulsions with a water phase. Niacinamide is versatile for everyday care products; B6 is used mainly in cleansers and in care for skin that tends to produce excess sebum. Simple dosing and excellent compatibility in the water phase.

Lipophilic forms of vitamin C (oil phase)

THDA (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate) is an oil-soluble form of vitamin C suited to serums and emulsions with a higher oil content. It is stable and pleasant on the skin even at a lower dosage. Completing the range is Ascorbyl Palmitate, which is used in the oil phase. Stable forms of vitamin C for comfortable oil-based recipes.

Vitamin E – an antioxidant for oils and emulsions

To protect oil ingredients and cosmetic fragrances from oxidation, use Tocopherol (96 %). As a skin conditioner with pleasant sensory properties, Tocopheryl Acetate is stable and suited to creams and body lotions. Proven antioxidant protection and comfort in the formulation.

Biotin (Vitamin H) – the specialist for hair and nail recipes

Biotin USP is used at low doses in hair tonics, shampoos and specialist serums. It is worth combining it with the water phase and with carriers that support dispersibility. A low dosage with high efficiency in the target products.

Stabilised vitamin C in liquid form

For products that call for liquid dosing there is stabilised Vitamin C – liquid (some pack sizes may be temporarily unavailable). It suits oil serums and emulsions with an oil phase; for water-based products only via a suitable solubiliser. Convenient liquid dosing for oil-based recipes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose between a hydrophilic and a lipophilic form of a vitamin?

Go by the carrier of the product: water-based serums and toners prefer hydrophilic forms (such as niacinamide), while oil serums and emulsions with a higher oil content make use of lipophilic derivatives such as THDA, ascorbyl palmitate or tocopherol. Choose your vitamins with the target pH and the type of product in mind too – serum, emulsion or oil-based care.

Can I combine several vitamins in one product?

Yes, it is often done for a synergistic effect – for example niacinamide with a vitamin C derivative and vitamin E. Watch compatibility, pH and solubility; hydrophilic ingredients belong in the water phase and lipophilic ones in the oil phase. Always try new combinations in small stability and sensory trials first.

When should I add an antioxidant if I already use plant oils?

With oils prone to oxidation (unsaturated oils, perfume ingredients) vitamin E is suitable almost every time. Tocopherol protects the blend from yellowing and from changes in smell during storage and use; antioxidants therefore contribute to the stability of oil ingredients and fragrances over time and to the overall quality of the product.

How do I dose niacinamide in an emulsion or a serum?

Adjust the dosage to the target product; a low to medium percentage is commonly used, depending on the skin type and the other actives. Watch the pH and the solubility in the water phase and always verify stability. Niacinamide is easy to work into toners, serums and emulsions and is one of the versatile actives of everyday care.
