Ok..I am still new to this however, I'm wanting to jump on the DIY Vita C serum bandwagon. I was looking online at Garden Of Wisdom and I couldn't find the L-ascorbic acid crytals. It says "powder"
Is it the same? Can anyone tell me if there's a difference?
Is this a good place to order from?

I'm not sure about their C powder. I'm assumung it's not utra-fine powder.
A number of us like the ultra-fine powder from here. Ascorbic Acid, Ultrafine - Lotioncrafter LLC
Ulta-fine powder dissolves much better than regular powder.

I've tried the LAA powder from Garden of Wisdom and Lotioncrafter. Even though the GoW C powder doesn't say ultra-fine, it said it's the nicest, fluffiest powder out there, so I decided to give it a try. Both seem to have the same consistency and dissolve equally well - almost instantaneously. Lotioncrafter has it a little cheaper, though.

I use the ultra fine from Makingcosmetics and LOVE it, I have never had an issue of getting it to dissolve either-

Lotioncrafters price is right. I think I will give this one a try next time.
