| I always read the EDS forums when I am looking for skin care answers and solutions even though I just created this account. I know here is the best place to ask my question. I am aware that vitamin c turns orange, yellow or brown when oxidized. But, does it mean that my vitamin c is oxidized if it turned brown after being mixed with grapeseed oil and green clay? I used these 3 ingredients as a mask just a few minutes ago. My ascorbic acid powder is not that old and I've made serums with it that didn't turn a funny color right away. But, after about 10 minutes on my face I looked in the mirror and noticed my mask had turned a brownish color instead of the green that my clay mask mixtures would usually look. Is this normal? Does it mean that my ascorbic acid is oxidized? It started to have a metallic smell after those 10 minutes on my face as well. Any answers would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to keep using it if it isn't good for my skin, but I don't want all my ascorbic acid to go to waste either. |

I suppose the color change could have happened as the mask dried, but it's a bit weird it went from green to brown.
It usually takes longer than that for ascorbic acid to oxidize. Was it old? |

| No, it it's not old and it hasn't reached the expiry date yet. And the mask I made I had just made in the palm of my hand right before using it. I really wish I could know for sure whether my ascorbic acid has oxidized. |
