Directions: Add Vitamin C Powder to liquid, cover container, and shake vigorously until powder is dissolved.
Because the L-Ascorbic Acid form of Vitamin C is water-soluble, it will only dissolve in water-based ingredients. If your formulation contains oil-based ingredients, the Vitamin C powder must be dissolved in water first (up to 20% concentration) before it is added to the oil phase. L-ascorbic acid powder will never "dissolve" in pure oil formulas.
Our 100% pure Vitamin C fine-grain size powder will dissolve in water-based liquids up to a 20% concentration. If you find your Vitamin C powder is not dissolving as expected, you are likely using too much powder for the amount of liquid in your formula. This is common if you have previously been using "extra fine" powders that are fluffier and measure differently. If you have any trouble dissolving your powder, please contact RESURRECTIONbeauty before discarding your creation and we can assist you in troubleshooting your recipe and procedure.
