Survey of Methods Employed to Stabilize Ascorbic Acid in Cosmetic Formulations
O
…by Paul Thau
ver 25 years ago, as one of my activities as a technology liaison staff member, I was requested by the marketing group to explore potential methods to stabilize ascorbic acid in a cream or serum vehicle. In that era, this was considered to be a significant challenge because of ascorbic acid’s limited stability in compositions containing water, particularly in the presence of air. After giving the challenge some thought, I contacted a colleague at a major supplier of ascorbic acid. He informed me that his laboratory staff prepared a stable anhydrous composition containing 5% (w/w) ascorbic acid. However, after evaluation of this prototype formulation on my skin, I found the aesthetics to be unacceptable due to the formulation’s unctuous properties. Fortunately, several months later, I came across an article in Cosmetics & Toiletries entitled, “New formulation possibilities offered by silicone copolyols” authored by Gerd H. Dahms, Ph.D. and Alan Zombeck.1 This article stimulated my thoughts that an anhydrous glycol-in-silicone emulsion would be a good vehicle for the formulation of a stable ascorbic acid emulsion, particularly since ascorbic acid is soluble in glycerin, propylene glycol, and other glycols. Our initial trials to prepare such a composition containing 5% (w/w) ascorbic acid were not successful due to emulsion stability issues. However, we subsequently were able to systematically study formulations with different levels of the silicone polyol emulsifier (PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone) and found that when the level was raised to a least 6% (w/w), the gel emulsions displayed good stability at a range of storage temperatures. Chemical stability with these prototype formulations were also found to be good. Since our exploratory group had limited resources for refinements to optimize aesthetic properties, this project was transferred to a formulation group overseas. Within the next two years, several commercial products containing ascorbic acid were commercialized. I was not aware of all the details related to these refinements and associated packaging, since I retired from Cosmair/L’Oréal in 1998. Over two decades have passed since that time, and it is my intention in this survey article to review information from recent publications and patents that provide insights on the formulation of cosmetic formulations that have acceptable stability and aesthetic properties.

Letter from the Chairman …Giorgino Macalino
t was not a carefree, lazy summer for the NYSCC. The Board, Committee Chairs, and members were all hard at work presenting webinar series on Sun Care and World of Chemistry. For the first time, in August, hosted by the NYSCC Mentorship Committee, we presented a Professional Development Master Class Series. Led by professional and career development experts, topics included Results-Oriented Resume Writing Class, Rock Your LinkedIn Profile, and Sharpening your Interviewing Skills and Strategy. This program will be available to our members On Demand until September 30th. See page 8 for details. Our online programs continue to deliver strong engagement and retention numbers from all over the world. We are proud of how we have been able to quickly execute these programs and provide high quality and relevant content to our members. An NYSCC initiative that I am personally proud to be a part of is our donation of close to 10,000 bottles of FDA approved hand sanitizers to frontline workers in New York and New Jersey Medical Centers, Hospitals, and Care Centers. Donations were also made to Veteran and Nursing homes as well as the NJ Department of Health. We also created customized COVID survival kits that include masks, handle protectors, hand sanitizers, and more that will be distributed to several of the NYSCC sister chapters and select members. As you are aware, we are not able to meet in person for Suppliers’ Day this year. However, in its place, we are excited about the Suppliers’ Day Live At Home Week of Beauty that will be launched September 28th and continue until October 2nd. Planned is a unique virtual program chock-full of education, engagement, sourcing, awards, and more. We have partnered with other leading associations as well as trade media to help create a robust agenda of activities that will help our members and the beauty and personal care community be as successful as possible in this ever-changing environment. During our scheduled show dates, September 30th–October 1st, we will offer an interactive virtual trade show floor experience that will include “live chats” with our world class suppliers as well as video bites of them sharing their latest product announcements as well as achievements for 2020. In addition FUTURE CHEMISTS WORKSHOP: “90 Day Survival Guide for the Future Cosmetic Chemist” will be presented. Please make every effort to participate in Suppliers’ Day At Home Live Week of Beauty.

Methods Employed to Stabilize Ascorbic Acid in Cosmetic Formulations
(continued from Page 1)
Updated Information on Ascorbic Acid and Methods to Prepare Formulations with Acceptable Stability
DISCOVER The Natural Choice
Inspiring innovation through advanced specialty chemical distribution distribution
It has been reported in several publications that ascorbic acid oxidation occurs rapidly in alkaline environments, especially at higher temperatures (>50 °C) and its reaction with oxygen is strongly catalyzed by metal ions, particularly cupric and ferric ions.2 The degradation of ascorbic acid proceeds both by aerobic and anaerobic pathways and depends upon many factors such as oxygen, temperature, light, pH, and storage conditions. For example, UV irradiation of ascorbic acid results in the formation of dehydroascorbic acid, which hydrolyzes to 2,3-diketogulonic acid on UV irradiation by photooxidation and subsequent hydrolysis.

Certain transition metals in solution can form reactive oxygen species, which are able to degrade ascorbic acid. The rate of oxidation increases with pH, oxygen content, and concentration of metal ions in the solution. In an attempt to study the stability of ascorbic acid in pure water solutions (without buffers), it was observed that the rate of oxidation is pH dependent, showing a minimum at pH 2.5 to 3.0 and a maximum at pH 4.0.2,3 It is necessary to make a pH adjustment to preserve the physical, chemical, and therapeutic properties of ascorbic acid. It was reported that ascorbic acid acts synergistically with water and fat-soluble vitamins including alpha-tocopherol.4 Overall, ascorbic acid has been successfully used in a number of cosmetic and dermatological formulations in combination with tocopherol to take advantage of this synergism.
Stabilization Effect of Ascorbic Acid
The photosensitivity of ascorbic acid makes it highly unstable for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations and, hence, it requires the use of an appropriate stabilizing agent. As mentioned above, ascorbic acid acts synergistically with alpha-tocopherol, by acting as an electron donor to neutralize the tocopheryl radical.4 As a lipid-soluble antioxidant, alphatocopherol neutralizes lipid peroxyl radicals that are formed in phospholipids in the cell membrane complex of eukaryotic cells. After donating an electron to a phospholipid radical, alpha-tocopherol becomes a radical itself. It migrates to the cytosol-lipid membrane interface where ascorbic acid donates an electron to the tocopheryl radical.5 The interaction of alpha-tocopherol with a redox partner such as ascorbic acid was found to be useful to slow down its oxidation and prolong its physiological action.4
Inclusion of Humectants in Formulations
Studies were conducted to determine the effect of different humectants such as propylene glycol and glycerin in cream and serum formulations containing ascorbic acid.6 These ingredients provided a stabilizing effect on the degradation of ascorbic acid. These ingredients reduce the dielectric constant of the medium, which can greatly influence the stability of oxidizable substances. In all instances, it is recommended that products be manufactured with a head space of nitrogen, or other inert gas, and with packaging that minimizes contact with air and shields the product from UV light. 4

Formulation Considerations
In summary, methods found to be effective in improving the stability of ascorbic acid in formulations are: • Maintain pH between 2.5 and 3.5. • Use with other antioxidants to take advantage of redox cycling. • Reduce level of water in formulations by incorporating ingredients such glycols. • Use emulsions as vehicles (e.g., glycol-in-silicone), which contain a low level of water to improve aesthetics. • Manufacture products using nitrogen headspace. • Use packaging that minimizes exposure to air and light. The reader is directed to References 7-9 for some examples in the patent literature of the stabilization of ascorbic acid in several different types of cosmetic formulations.
Concluding Remarks
The stability of air sensitive ingredients, such as ascorbic acid, have always been a challenge for the formulator. Numerous approaches have been adopted to achieve stabilization of ascorbic acid in cosmetic preparations over the past 25 years. These include the use of stabilizers, antioxidants, preservatives, synergists, emulsifiers, etc. The control of pH, polarity, and viscosity also prolong the shelf-life of ascorbic acid in cosmetic preparations. Processing and packaging products should minimize exposure to air and UV light, which are also critical factors. ____________________________________________________________

We are honored to provide some virus protection to these healthcare professionals and civil servants during this unprecedented time,” states Giorgino Macalino, Chairman, NYSCC. According to Albert Gehres, Deputy Commissioner, Office of Emergency Management, Suffolk County, through the generosity of NYSCC, and other organizations, their facility has been able to distribute almost 7 million PPE items to frontline healthcare and civil servant workers as well as small businesses that need protection. The customized hand sanitizers were manufactured by a NYSCC member company. Many member companies in the personal care and product development space either donated or switched their manufacturing process at the start of the pandemic to produce products for frontline workers.
