***Ascorbilpalmitato***, la vitamina C affine alla pelle.
(In fact the whole sentence has thrown me off...affine?
Vitamin C is similar to the skin?! There's something I'm clearly not seeing here. Bad day. BAD day...)

Ascorbyl palmitate
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.

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.
