New and Improved C20
5 Squirrels are always working hard to ensure all the products in Your Signature Range are of the highest quality. To this end, we are pleased to announce that we are launching a new and improved version of our popular C20 product. It has been reformulated to include the latest technology as well as making it more environmentally friendly and sustainable. C20 still has the same key active ingredients -20% L-Ascorbic Acid, 0.5% Ferulic Acid and 1% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate - but it is now easier to use and we have removed all palm-based ingredients.
Key Changes:
C20 is now completely palm free.
The new formulation is less viscous, quickly absorbed and leaves no residue.
C20 is now presented in a dropper bottle which makes it easier to apply.
