Brighten • Smooth • Restore
At Salida Sunshine Botanicals, I believe skincare is more than a routine — it’s a way to pause, reconnect, and nurture your skin in harmony with nature. This is the heart behind my Vitamin C Collection.
These four serums are all powered by Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA) — a gentle, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C. It penetrates deeply to brighten, even tone, and support collagen without the irritation some Vitamin C products can cause. And when it’s paired with nutrient-rich botanicals like rosehip, buriti, broccoli seed, and sea buckthorn, you get not only radiance, but deep, lasting nourishment.
Why THDA Vitamin C?
Unlike water-based Vitamin C (like L-ascorbic acid) which can be unstable and irritating, THDA stays potent longer, works beautifully in oil-based formulas, and is safe for most skin types — even sensitive. That means you can enjoy all the brightening, firming, and antioxidant benefits without the sting.

Final Thoughts
The Vitamin C Collection was created to support skin at every age and stage — whether you’re gently maintaining your glow or targeting specific changes. And because each blend is rooted in botanicals, you’re giving your skin more than Vitamin C… you’re giving it the plant-powered nourishment it craves.
