Introducing PDRN PHYCOPEPTIDE – Next-Generation Vegan Regenerative Active
July 2, 2026Vitamin C remains one of the most sought-after active ingredients in personal care formulations, valued for its antioxidant properties and ability to support brighter, healthier-looking skin. However, traditional forms of Vitamin C often present formulation challenges due to limited stability, poor skin penetration, and reliance on enzymatic conversion. Cetpro®APPS (Trisodium Ascorbyl Palmitate Phosphate) has been developed to overcome these limitations, offering formulators a highly stable, advanced Vitamin C derivative with enhanced delivery characteristics and additional skin hydration benefits. It's key benefits include:
Superior Skin Penetration
Pure Vitamin C and many of its derivatives struggle to penetrate the skin's lipid barrier. By incorporating a fatty acid (palmitate), APPS is able to more readily pass through the skin's oil-rich layers, offering improved bioavailability compared to water-soluble alternatives such as Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate.
Independent Conversion
Many Vitamin C derivatives require specific skin enzymes to convert them into active ascorbic acid. Research suggests that APPS can supply active ascorbate to skin cells without relying on an extensive enzymatic conversion process.
Exceptional Stability
Unlike standard ascorbic acid, which can rapidly degrade and oxidise when exposed to light and air, APPS offers enhanced stability in cosmetic formulations, helping to prolong product shelf life.
Added Hydration
Many Vitamin C derivatives require specific skin enzymes to convert them into active ascorbic acid. Research suggests that APPS can supply active ascorbate to skin cells without relying on an extensive enzymatic conversion process.
