The brightening antioxidant that’s earned its place in every skincare routine.
Few skincare ingredients have stood the test of time quite like Vitamin C.
Backed by decades of research, it remains one of the most trusted and widely used actives in modern skincare—and for very good reason.
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that plays an essential role in supporting healthy skin.
It is one of the most studied skincare ingredients in the world, valued for its ability to help brighten the appearance of skin, support a more even-looking complexion and provide antioxidant protection against everyday environmental stressors.
Where Does It Come From?
Vitamin C is found naturally in many fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits, berries and leafy greens.
In skincare, Vitamin C is used in several different forms—each with its own stability and performance characteristics.
At Naturals Beauty, we use Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, a stable derivative of Vitamin C that has been specifically developed for use in skincare formulations where consistency and reliability are essential.
Why Has It Been Used for Decades?
Vitamin C has been studied extensively since the mid-twentieth century, and the research consistently supports its value as a skincare ingredient.
Its antioxidant properties help neutralise free radicals generated by UV exposure and pollution, while its brightening effects have made it a staple in formulations designed to support a more radiant-looking complexion.
What Does Modern Science Tell Us?
Research supports the use of Vitamin C in skincare for helping to brighten the appearance of dull-looking skin, promote a more even-looking complexion, provide antioxidant support against everyday environmental stressors, and support healthier-looking skin as part of a daily skincare routine.
The form of Vitamin C used in a formulation matters significantly—stability, concentration and formulation all affect how well it performs.
Why Naturals Beauty Chooses Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
At Naturals Beauty, we don’t simply choose an ingredient because it’s popular.
We ask: Is it stable? Is it suitable for everyday use? Does it work well within the formulation?
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate answered “yes” to all three.
Its excellent stability means our Glow Getter Vitamin C Serum performs consistently throughout its shelf life, while its gentle nature makes it suitable for everyday use by most skin types.

Q: Why did you choose Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate instead of pure Vitamin C?
A: Pure L-Ascorbic Acid can be unstable and may cause irritation at higher concentrations. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate offers excellent stability and is well tolerated by most skin types, making it the ideal choice for a daily-use serum.
