TLDR
Tetrahexydecyl ascorbate is a lipophilic precursor to ascorbic acid that may be stabilized by acetyl zingerone, and has been shown to mitigate oxidative and inflammatory stress, thereby improving the appearance of photoaging.
Abstract
Tetrahexydecyl ascorbate (THDA) is a lipophilic precursor to ascorbic acid that may be stabilized by acetyl zingerone (AZ). Studies have shown that the topical application of THDA may have photoprotective effects. Similarly, AZ has been shown to mitigate oxidative and inflammatory stress, thereby improving the appearance of photoaging.
