    So what is the conclusion? 

    Is there a site/table that show how
    to calculate the percentage of ascorbyl
    palmitate (or any oily vit C) with regard to AA?

    How much AP do I need to add if AA is 15%, 16% and 17% ?

    Further to what you write
    here – 30%  small molecule 70% large molecule,
    is it still penetrate
    the skin and do the same work as AA do ?

    96%… I heard controversial opinions about tetrahexadecyl ascorbate. Some papers suggest it works but the sample is too small. I used 10% for a couple of months (made it myself, I don’t think you can buy it at a such concentration) and didn’t notice any difference.

    You use 10% ? If its equivalents to 96% why you do that? or you didn’t know?

    @Ronit - what do you mean by “effective serum”?  What claims are you making about it?  How do you determine that the serum is effective?

    Effective mean: antioxidant, skin firmness, protect from free radicals, minimise wrinkles signs, photo protective etc
    It is poss to get that by 10%-20% of vit C (and as I understand yesterday, these percents are for ascorbic acid)

    chickenskin - I read it later (with the links)

    Intresting….Thanks alot

    so if I want effective serum and equivalents to 15% ascorbic acid, Its enough  to add 2.3% ascorbyl palmitate or its better 3%?

    MarkBroussard - they write 20% THD Ascorbate, 2% Ferulic Acid and 3% Vitamin E. the vit C is Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate.
     Do they put from that only 6.4% (if it equivalents to 96%)?

    Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I hated the Ascorbyl palmitate with oil to 85 degrees. When phase A has cooled down (40 degrees) I add phase B (water,
    lecithin, etc). In fact, I made the amount of 3% because 15% is just impossible.

    Of course with 15%  Ascorbic
    acid there is no problem to melt it, but everywhere I read about making vitamin
    C serum ,and if I want it will be effective
    ,
    they recommend it contain 15%-20% vitamin C. As Ascorbic acid is unstable,
    every one use oily derivatives
    of vitamin C .

    I even looked the ingredients list for companies that sell  vitamin C serum, especially those who write that the product
    contains 20% vitamin C. The result is that it always contain one of the oily derivatives.

    So if it’s the oily derivatives do I need to use 15% or less??
