Formulation Deep Dive

BeautyStat’s Universal C Skin Refiner is formulated as a high-performance anhydrous brightening treatment designed for maximum vitamin C stability and potency. The carrier system utilizes a propanediol base, which acts as a multifunctional solvent and humectant to enhance the penetration of actives without the oxidative risks associated with water-based formulas. The performance is driven by a 20% concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) for intensive collagen support and pigment correction, synergistically paired with Green Tea Extract (EGCG) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E) to provide a robust antioxidant network. Squalane and Sodium Hyaluronate are integrated to provide lipid replenishment and deep hydration, offsetting potential irritation from the high acid load. The formulation is technically stabilized through an anhydrous environment and the addition of Tartaric Acid, which helps maintain an optimal pH environment for L-Ascorbic Acid efficacy.
