All Natural Amazing Grace Vit C Super Serum

This serum took months of research and trial and error before I was convinced that it needed to be added to my Amazing Grace line.  I think you are going to love it!

Why would I need a Vitamin C product when I had a really great moisturizer already? Did I really need another face serum?  I resisted for months while Rena, my assist gently pushed for me to see what all the fuss was about.  This is what I learned:

• antioxidant(fights bad stuff that ages skin)
• collagen stimulator (helps make us look younger)
• protection against premature aging(feed cells vitamins and nutrients keeping them healthy)
• speeds healing (acne, scarring, burns and wounds)
• can potentially dim age spots & evens skin tone(helps minimize age spots, decolorization, dark spots and undereye circles)
• lessens the appearance of wrinkles (smooths the appearance of fine lines) 
• helps restore sun damaged skin(protects against UVA & UVB sun rays)

Just like your body, a good multi vitamin sometimes isn't enough.  Sometimes we need a little boost.  That is what a Vit C serum does.  It gives a little boost.

There are about 6-7 forms of Vitamin C available for skincare.  The cheapest, ascorbic acid breaks down extremely quickly and is unstable against light and heat variations such as warm bathrooms and hot days.  Many of the serums on the market have a shelf life of approx 3 months, oxidize and turn brown quickly.  I wondered if I could do better and keep the cost lower without compromising the quality. 

With the exception of the essential oils, ALL ingredients are above 1% while the competitions formulas active ingredients are all well below 1%.  The vitamin C is at 9%!

I started with Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate,a stable, water soluble form of Vit C.  I also used a natural liposomal vit C for better absorption and lastly, I used kakadu plum extract and rosehip powder with some of the highest vitamin C's of any fruits.  That's 4 different sources of Vit C in one formula!

Instead of water, I formulated with colloidal silver for protection against bacteria  and fungus, sooth inflammation, and to combat potential acne. Colloidal copper was used to help stimulate collagen production and soften fine lines. Neroli hydrosol added a lovely scent, helps with cell regeneration and tightens pores

Then I stabilized the Vit C with ferulic acid which is anti aging, skin brightening and an antioxidant.  Vitamin B3 and B5 helps repair the skin barrier, improves skin elasticity and improves skin hydration.  Of course hyaluronic acidin both high and medium molecular weight was added to power up hydration to the max! Lastly, I threw in MSM to help transport all of the amazing ingredients into the skin's epidermis for even better results. 

How to use: apply before moisturizer for maximum benefits at start of day.  You can also use after cleansing your face before bedtime.

Last thoughts: When compared to other Vit C serums on the market, I should be and could sell this for $80-110.  I would then have the advertising budget to really get this out there... but I would rather sell to a small group of people who really appreciate quality and all natural products that are safe for their families and the environment. I would rather grow by word of mouth from people who love the results and share with family and friends.
