Vitamin C serum
-
If you want to make a water-based serum, you can use Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate … it is most stable around pH = 6.0. There are some other forms of “stabilized” Vitamin C derivatives, but I find SAP to be the easiest to work with.
If you want to make an oil-based serum, you can use Tetrahexadecyl Ascorbate.

MarkBroussard said:That would be a question for a patent attorney. The point here is to help Jaycetowww learn how to formulate a serum as his/her proposed formula was simply not going to work.@MarkBroussard
You’re definitely right about both of these points. Sorry for derailing the post a bit, it wasn’t my intention to argue about technicalities in a patent. I wanted to make sure @Jaycetowww was informed that a patent exists that may apply if he was trying to sell this serum.I’d rather not get off on the wrong foot with you as I appreciate the experience backed knowledge you’ve provided in many posts.

You brought up a good point as i have not read that patent in quite some time. I would not worry about Jaycetowww selling anything anytime soon if you refer back to his/her proposed first formula and Jaycetowww said he/she was just beginning to learn about formulating, so all advice was offered in that context.

To be honest I didn’t think Jaycetoww would be selling this serum, but I decided to comment because others in this forum might have tried to make and sell that serum. If it’s for personal use I’m always down to use innovations from big companies, patented or not.

Thanks very much for that info Mark - will store away for when I may make some for myself in the future. Very helpful as always. You are a legend
