HPLC stability-indicating method was validated for Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in semisolid pharmaceutical/cosmetic formulations containing glutathione and sodium metabisulfite, as antioxidants. The described procedure included a reliable, precise, accurate and specific method determination employing a 250 mm × 4.6 mm C18 column, 0.2% metaphosphoric acid/methanol/acetonitrile (90:8:2, v/v/v) as the mobile phase and detection at 254 nm. Nicotinic and ascorbic acids were employed as standards, both presenting purity of 99.0%. Linearity was established for the ascorbic acid concentrations ranging form 1.0 to 12 μg mL−1, accuracy/recovery percentage was 95.46–101.54%, precision values were 0.38 (intra-day) and 1.22% (inter-days), and LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.05 and 0.17 μg mL−1, respectively. The working mobile phase elevated the ascorbic acid retention time to ≈3.5 min at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1 and provided resolution of the active from the nicotinic acid (internal standard), degradation product (oxalic acid) and other excipients from the pharmaceutical/cosmetic preparations.
