Gransil PS-5 AA20

Gransil PS-5 AA20 is a petrolatum silicone gel containing 20% by weight micro-sized vitamin C (ascorbic acid) particles. Gransil PS-5 AA20 provides a unique non-oily, smooth, fresh feel and delivers a large dose of vitamin C, promoting collagen growth and anti-aging function for skin care. Gransil PS-5 AA20 represents a new stabilized form of vitamin C. The micro-sized vitamin C particles that are "wrapped" by petrolatum-silicone gel are stable over time, as opposed to being notoriously unstable in water or glycols. The particulate ascorbic acid allows for a longer action time of being transdermally absorbed by skin through skin sweat glands. This is in contrast to a rapid loss of vitamin C that is pre-solublized in water or glycols for a skin care formula. Gransil PS-5 AA20 is an ideal vehicle and ingredient for skin care formulas.
