K3 Vita-C
- INCI Name
- Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate
K3 Vita-C is a highly stable water-soluble Vitamin C derivative that is effective in collagen synthesis at very low usage levels and causes no discoloration of formulations. K3 Vita-C outperforms other Vitamin C derivatives in stability and residual activity upon formulation into finished products. Even when the long term stability is not taken into consideration, in-vitro tests show that K3 Vita-C outperforms ascorbic acid and other Vitamin C derivatives in collagen formation activity.

- The No-Compromise Vitamin C Solution
Adding a Vitamin C derivative to a formulation is a fantastic way to boost the claims of a product. Those claims are only as strong as the formulation itself though. If a formulation is compromised because of a raw ingredient, the appeal is lost. Instep K-3 Vita-C, the no-compromise Vitamin C solution.
