Formulation Deep Dive

Summer Fridays CC Me Vitamin C Serum is formulated as a high-performance water-based brightening serum designed to target hyperpigmentation and oxidative stress. The carrier system utilizes a high concentration of aqua and glycerin to provide immediate humectancy and a lightweight, fluid texture. The active performance is driven by a synergistic brightening complex featuring ascorbyl glucoside and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, which provide stable, multi-phase vitamin C delivery, supported by niacinamide (vitamin B3) to enhance skin clarity and barrier function. Additionally, squalane is incorporated to provide emollient benefits and mimic natural skin lipids. The formulation is stabilized through a combination of phytic acid and tocopherol (vitamin E) to prevent oxidation, ensuring the long-term integrity of the sensitive antioxidant actives.
