How important is it for Vit C to be stabilized and/or encapsulated?  I am looking for a new vit C and these details have popped up a few times.

Thanks

There is more than one kind of VC. Take a look here:

Thank you (again) @SilleeMee 

I have been looking for vit c with THDA but haven't found any yet.  Do you know of some I can get on Sephora?

@SilleeMee 

I am looking doing a search for THDA in the ingredient list.  Maybe it's not listed that way in the ingredient deck??

@monicakm  - Not on Sephora but The Lab Direct has a THDA Vit C that @SilleeMee and @JeanLouiseFinch use and swear by and it's on Amazon.  Lab Direct has a store on Amazon so you can check it out there.

THDA is also called ATIP, short for a long chemical name. THDA can also be listed as VC ester or esterifed VC. It has five different names.

@SilleeMee 

Thanks.  I'll look around.

THDA is an oil. The only derivative that is an oil. The rest are water soluble.

Sephora has the worst search engine.

@monicakm I like Timeless Vit C  (in 10% and 20%)

it's ascorbic acid and comes in an airless pump bottle that I keep in the fridge and it remains crystal clear for 6 months or longer (I use it up before then). When it starts to change color then you know it's oxidized, which it never has for me. I order directly from Timeless during holidays because they offer 40% off. You can also get from Amazon...
