    This patent gives formula examples where niacinamide ascorbate (niacinamide + ascorbic acid) is used. So even though there is a pH difference, the mixture is still usable.

    I see the question has been downvoted, can’t say I’m surprised. There’s been some questionable  behavior recently on this forum. Look through different threads and you’ll find experts being condescending and sarcastic. Who here thinks they have the right to police questions? A question such as this one can be very basic to an experienced formulator but not everyone has the same background. If you don’t feel like the question is worthy of your time then just ignore it. Don’t spend your time spreading negativity, no one benefits from that.

    With that being said I must also mention that there are TONS of helpful, knowledgeable and kind people here. I’ve learned a lot from lurking here and will continue to learn more as this community grows. I just ask that we have patience and respect each other regardless of how experienced or inexperienced we are.

    Thanks for your input.
    @Perry: Yeah, an aqueous solution where the active is a water soluble salicylic acid powder.
    @Belassi: Even if they did figure that out I doubt they would use the amount necessary to achieve any benefit.

    A quick google search resulted in this:

    “Phenostat™ is compatible with most cosmetic ingredients. However, it can
    interact with residual iron found in some clay-type compounds (e.g.,
    bentonite, silicates, etc). This interaction with iron may produce a
    very mild orange color or color shift that is barely perceivable to the
    eye in most formulations. In cases where the clays are high in iron, the
    colored compounds may be more perceivable Contains caprylhydroxamic
    acid (CHA), phenoxyethonal and methylpropendiol.”
