Does anyone know ehere i can purchase Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate in the UK, please?
I would love to make my own oil-based vit c serum (or rather, add the oil soluble version of Vit C to the natural facial oil recipe i'm putting together, for a super-boost!).
I cant find Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate anywhere - can anyone help please? x |

| I believe that lotion crafters ships to the UK. |

I am pretty sure bulkactives also ships internationally.
http://www.bulkactives.com/ascorbyltetraisopalmitate.htm
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, also known as Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, is a Vitamin C ester with better improved absorption and stability qualities. It is used as an antioxidant, a whitening agent (for skin lightening and brightening), in anti-acne formulations, and it promotes collagen production. Unlike absorbic acid, it will not exfoliate of cause irritation.

I am also from the UK and was unable to find a reasonably priced Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate from a Uk website, so in the end I purchased from Lotioncrafter which was a whole lot cheaper in the long run. They also ship very quickly.
The tetra C serum is really simple to make and effective, and once you get the DIY bug you will want to make loads of different recipes! |

Thanks everyone.
I was wondering if L-Ascorbic Acid would be easier to get hold of in the UK..
Does anyone know of a reasonably priced online supplier of LAA?
Sorry to be a nuisance - I'm super eager to make a VitC serum, but im not sure where to get it from that wont incurr large international postage fees? |

Sorry I don't know personally (in the US) but it shouldn't be expensive, I do recall some buying pure ascorbic acid from pharmacists. At the bottom or near the bottom of the recipe index are lists of suppliers including some in the UK.

That is one brand I have used also, it's available here in the states and works just fine!  |
