Tag: Skincare stability

Studies confirm that vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, is indeed sensitive to light and degrades significantly when exposed to both natural sunlight and UV sources. This instability means that the way you store your supplements and skincare products directly affects their effectiveness, potentially reducing their promised benefits over time.

According to a study published in *Foods*, vitamin C degradation is a significant factor in food processing and storage, confirming that is vitamin C prone to oxidation. This instability is directly related to its chemical nature as a potent antioxidant, making it highly susceptible to reactive elements like oxygen and light.

According to one study, exposure to light, oxygen, and heat can rapidly degrade pure vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid. This means that for products like serums and supplements, the stability of vitamin C in light is a crucial factor in maintaining effectiveness.
