Vitamin C Serum. Should Vitamin C Serum Have a Color

Vitamin C Serum. Should Vitamin C Serum have a color? The answer is no. Your Vitamin C Serum should not be colored. Pure Vitamin C is without color
If you are using a Vitamin C Serum that is colored, it can mean 1 of 2 things.
First, the Vitamin C could be oxidized. When Vitamin C is introduced to the air or water over a long period of time, it can become oxidized. When this happens, the color of the serum becomes dark, and the Vitamin C compounds itself becomes less effective. What oxidation means is the Vitamin C compound has lost its potency. The C compound can be very reactive, meaning it reacts with molecules in the air and water, if it is immersed in water. When this happens, the Vitamin C Serum loses its active compound, and turns a brown or amber color.
Sano Naturals Vitamin C Serum is immersed in organically-derived Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe, which helps prevent oxidation. That’s why your Sano Naturals Vitamin C Serum is clear, not colored. Sano Naturals Vitamin C Serum also contains an Organic Herbal Infusion instead of water to increase the potency of the Serum, and to reduce the oxidation you find with water-based serums.
Also, some Vitamin C compounds are more susceptible to oxidation, because they are more reactive. This includes ascorbic acid. Ascorbic Acid is a extremely reactive C compound, and should be avoided in a Vitamin C Serum. The more reactive your Vitamin C compound, the more likely it is to be oxidized. Oxidized Vitamin C Serum is can either be ineffective, or harmful, to your face.
Sano Naturals, however, uses the most stable form of Vitamin C called sodium ascorbyl phosphate which resists oxidation the best. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a much more stable form of Vitamin C that remains potent longer, meaning it does the most good for your face and skin over time.
In fact, Sano Naturals goes an extra step to prevent oxidation by using a dark blue opaque bottle for its Vitamin C Serum. Vitamin C also oxidizes in the presence of sunlight. By using an opaque bottle, Sano Naturals prevents exposure to direct sunlight. This preserves the potency of your Vitamin C Serum, and all of the components inside.
The second reason a Vitamin C Serum may be colored is that artificial colors were added to the product. Remember – pure Vitamin C is colorless. That means if your Serum does have a color, it could have been artificially added. Any artificial color additives are likely to be synthetic chemicals. Those synthetic chemicals can irritate your skin and clog pores.
Sano Naturals Vitamin C Serum contains no artificial colors or synthetic chemicals. That’s why it is completely colorless.
