Folic acid is a powerful active in skin and sun care, with the ability to fight photoaging as well as general signs of aging. It slows premature skin aging by stimulating skin cells such as fibrobroblasts, while preventing DNA damage at the same time. Folic Acid is a yellow to yellow-orange crystalline, practically odorless powder. It is very slightly soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol, acetone, ether and chloroform, and readily soluble in solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates. Folic Acid is fairly stable to air, but somewhat sensitive to heat and light, especially to ultraviolet radiation. Neutral solutions are relatively stable. view less
