peer agreement (net): +4Ascorbyl palmitate Explanation: Hi, the description below is from the referenced site. As to "affine", it's indubitably a typo for "affina" from the verb "affinare", meaning to improve or refine. Ascorbyl palmitate is a synthetic ester comprised of the 16-carbon chain saturated fatty acid palmitic acid and L-ascorbic acid. The ester linkage is at the 6 carbon of ascorbic acid. It is used as an antioxidant in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and is also used as a preservative for the natural oils, oleates, fragrances, colors, vitamins and other edible oils and waxes which are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foods. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2005-04-29 13:58:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops, sorry about that \"affine\" - I misread your sentence and \"affinare\" is often used in translations about cosmetics and skin treatments. I\'d put \"the type of Vitamin C with the closest affinity to the skin\" or something along those lines. L-ascorbic acid is Vitamin C.
