Natural Source Absorbic Acid

[Joyce]

I am looking for a natural source of Absorbic acid that will retain the properties in a lotion that can then be topically applied to the skin. I am also looking for natural sources of beta carotene besides carrots.

I am also looking for natural sources of beta carotene besides carrots.

Many of the brightly colored fruits and vegetables that we eat [yellow and orange] get their color from beta carotene.

Here's a short list of foods: pumpkin, butternut squash, sweet potato, apricot, mango, orange, papaya and watermelon.

Thanks for the list. Do you know if the benefits would still be there if I were to dehydrate the fruits and veggies and then add them to a topical lotion?
I may just have to experiment and see for myself.
