Discover the Power of NZ Made Natural Vitamin C Skincare
Featuring the Max-C Vitamin C Range by Natures Skin & Body Care
New Zealand is known for its pure, natural beauty — and now, your skincare can be too. If you’re looking to nourish your skin with powerful botanicals and science-backed ingredients, the Max-C Vitamin C range by Natures Skin & Body Care delivers an effective, natural approach to radiant, youthful skin.
Whether you’re targeting dullness, fine lines, or uneven tone, Max-C harnesses three distinctive sources of vitamin C — including advanced vitamin C derivatives and one of nature’s richest plant sources. Here’s a deep dive into what makes this range so impressive.
Why Vitamin C Matters in Skincare
Vitamin C is a celebrated skincare super-ingredient because it:
- Acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting skin from free-radical damage caused by UV and pollution
- Boosts collagen synthesis, helping improve firmness and elasticity
- Brightens skin tone, reduces dark spots, and enhances radiance
- Supports the skin’s repair processes and prevents visible signs of ageing
The Max-C range synergises multiple forms of vitamin C to maximize these benefits.
1. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate — A Next-Gen Vitamin C Powerhouse
One of the standout forms of vitamin C found in the Max-C range is tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate — a highly stable, oil-soluble derivative of vitamin C that penetrates deep into the skin.
Why it’s special:
- Deep penetration: As an oil-soluble form, it can slip past your skin’s protective barrier and work deeply where it matters most.
- Stable & gentle: Unlike traditional vitamin C (ascorbic acid), it’s highly stable and less likely to oxidise or irritate skin.
- Anti-aging and brightening: Supports collagen production, evens skin tone, and provides powerful antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
This premium form of vitamin C makes Max-C products excellent for all skin types, even sensitive or mature skin.
2. Ascorbyl Glucoside — Gentle, Stable Brightening
Another key vitamin C source in the Max-C range is ascorbyl glucoside — a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C.
Key benefits include:
- Stability: More stable in formulas compared to pure ascorbic acid, so it stays effective longer.
- Antioxidant protection: Shields skin from free-radical damage and helps reduce visible signs of ageing.
- Skin brightening: Helps even out skin tone and enhance luminosity without irritation.
- Supports collagen: Converts into active vitamin C within the skin, aiding collagen synthesis for firmer, smoother skin.
Because it’s gentle and effective, ascorbyl glucoside is suitable for everyday use — perfect for sensitive skin or those new to vitamin C.
3. Kakadu Plum Extract — Nature’s Richest Vitamin C Source
One of the most exciting natural ingredients in the Max-C range is Kakadu Plum extract, derived from a fruit with some of the highest natural vitamin C levels on Earth.
What makes Kakadu Plum so powerful:
- Natural vitamin C powerhouse: Contains one of the highest natural concentrations of vitamin C — far more than oranges.
- Antioxidant-rich: Helps neutralise free radicals, reducing the appearance of fine lines and supporting skin repair.
- Brightens & protects: Encourages collagen production and promotes an even, radiant complexion.
- Hydration & revitalisation: Beyond vitamin C, it’s rich in polyphenols and other antioxidants that support overall skin health.
Kakadu plum elevates Max-C formulations with a truly natural, potent source of vitamin C.
Bonus: Citrus Stem Cells from the Age Reverse Range
In some Max-C products (especially age-targeted formulas like the Age Reverse Vitamin C Face Serum), you’ll also find citrus stem cells.
These help:
- Renew skin appearance and elasticity
- Reduce the look of fine lines
- Improve overall texture for a younger, smoother complexion
When paired with vitamin C and hydrating actives like hyaluronic acid, citrus stem cells boost the anti-ageing performance of the products.
