The science that makes it VETTED
Vitamin C plays an essential role in skin health by neutralizing free radicals from ultraviolet light and pollutants, while supporting collagen synthesis. It also inhibits tyrosinase, a pigment-producing enzyme, involved in the pathogenesis of conditions that lead to uneven skin tone.
While L-ascorbic acid is the most biologically active form of vitamin C, it is unstable in cosmetics and does not penetrate the stratum corneum effectively. Our formulation includes two stable, lipophilic vitamin C derivatives that readily penetrate: ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate. We also added niacinamide, a B vitamin with antioxidant and skin lightening properties.
We selected the vitamin C derivatives with the fewest reports of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). In contrast to most vitamin C serums, our formulation does not include tocopherol, a stabilizer but also a known ACD culprit. Rather, we use ferulic acid, an exceedingly rare allergen.⁵ We have also added squalene, a powerful emollient that is naturally present in skin. In addition to moisturizing, squalene also neutralizes free radicals, increases cell turnover, improves skin elasticity, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Active Ingredients
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
Ascorbic tetraisopalmitate is a fat-soluble derivative that penetrates the skin well and provides the benefits of vitamin C without the instability issues of L-ascorbic acid. This derivative is also gentle on the skin, making it a great option for sensitive or reactive skin types. Irritant and allergic reactions to this derivative are also very rare.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is a fat-soluble vitamin C derivative that penetrates the skin deeply and effectively. It is more stable than L-ascorbic acid, making it a popular choice in hypoallergenic skincare formulations. This derivative is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide helps to visibly minimise enlarged pores, tightens lax pores, improves uneven skin tone, soften fine lines and wrinkles, diminish dullness and strengthen a weakened surface.
Squalene
An emollient chemical that is naturally present in sebum (oil). Squalene helps increase hydration, and thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, can help with acne and eczema. Vetted’s squalene is derived from olives.
