NuFountain makes small-batch L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) serums the slow, honest way — blended fresh the day you order, hand-dated, and shipped straight from our own small-batch facility in Lakewood, Colorado. No warehouses full of aging serum, and no mystery about what's in the bottle.

Why we started

NuFountain began with a frustration: vitamin C that works is vitamin C that's fresh — and almost nothing on a store shelf is. L-ascorbic acid, the form of vitamin C skin responds to best, begins breaking down the moment it's dissolved in water. A serum mixed months before it reaches you can arrive already past its prime, and there's usually no way to know how long it's been sitting there.

So since 2011 we've done it the other way around. Every bottle is blended after your order comes in, and the made-on date is written on it by hand — so freshness isn't a marketing claim, it's something you can read on the label.

What we stand for

• Made to order. Nothing is pre-mixed or shelf-aged.
• Honest concentrations. The number in the name is the strength in the bottle — C10 is 10% L-ascorbic acid and C20 is 20%. C15 is 15% MAP, a gentler vitamin C derivative. No rounding up, no vague "complexes."
• Short ingredient lists. The complete ingredient list is printed on every product page. No fragrance, no fillers.
• Hand-dated freshness. Every bottle carries its blend date, so you never have to guess.
• Fair prices. Effective vitamin C shouldn't cost a fortune.
• Protective packaging. Sealed, light-blocking bottles with a glass dropper to help preserve potency.
• A real person on the other end. Every message is answered by someone here in Lakewood.
