When used in a serum, ferulic acid stabilizes vitamin C - preventing it from oxidizing and degrading. Ferulic acid powder is generally used in a 1% solution and dissolved in an alcohol base to prevent clouding before use.
Many of our customers mix it with our Vitamin C Powder or Hyaluronic Acid Powder to create a fresh, professional quality serum.
