PromaCare® TAB (Natural)

Application

PromaCare® TAB (Natural), also known as ascorbyl tetra-2-hexyldecanoate, is a naturally derived, COSMOS-certified, oil-soluble esterified derivative of Vitamin C. It is designed for high-performance cosmetic formulations that require excellent stability, outstanding skin compatibility, and effective Vitamin C delivery.
Compared with conventional Vitamin C and many water-soluble Vitamin C derivatives, PromaCare-TAB(Natural) offers superior stability against oxidation, heat, light, and humidity. Its excellent oil solubility makes it highly suitable for oil-based systems, emulsions, serums, creams, facial oils, sunscreens, and premium brightening or anti-aging products. As a liquid ingredient, it is also easier to incorporate into cosmetic formulations than many solid whitening or brightening powders.

Thanks to its lipophilic structure, PromaCare-TAB(Natural) can be efficiently absorbed through the skin. After penetration, it is gradually converted into free Vitamin C in the skin, helping to deliver the biological benefits of Vitamin C where they are needed. It helps improve skin radiance, even skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark spots, support collagen synthesis, protect against oxidative stress, and delay visible signs of skin aging.
PromaCare-TAB(Natural) is especially valued for its excellent brightening performance. It helps inhibit melanin formation by reducing tyrosinase activity and supports the fading of existing pigmentation, contributing to a clearer, brighter, and more even-looking complexion. Its absorption and skin utilization are significantly enhanced compared with conventional Vitamin C, allowing it to provide strong efficacy even at relatively low use levels.

In addition to its brightening benefits, PromaCare-TAB(Natural) also provides powerful antioxidant protection. It helps scavenge free radicals generated by UV exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors, thereby protecting skin cells from oxidative damage. By supporting collagen production and helping maintain skin elasticity, it also contributes to smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin. Its soothing properties further make it suitable for formulations targeting blemish-prone, stressed, or sensitive-looking skin.

Key Features and Benefits

Naturally derived and COSMOS-certified

PromaCare-TAB(Natural) is suitable for natural and sustainable cosmetic formulations. Its COSMOS certification makes it an ideal choice for brands developing clean beauty, natural-origin, and eco-conscious skincare products.

Excellent stability

PromaCare-TAB(Natural) demonstrates outstanding stability under normal room temperature and light conditions. It overcomes the common instability issues associated with traditional Vitamin C, such as oxidation, discoloration, and activity loss caused by heat, light, and humidity.

Enhanced skin absorption

Its lipophilic molecular structure allows excellent affinity with the skin’s lipid barrier, promoting effective transdermal absorption. Once absorbed, it can be converted into active Vitamin C to perform multiple skincare functions.

Brightening and skin tone-evening

PromaCare-TAB(Natural) helps reduce the appearance of dullness, uneven skin tone, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. It supports a brighter, clearer, and more radiant complexion by helping inhibit melanin formation and improve the look of existing pigmentation.
