Product overview
Lilac Vitamin C Serum 10% (30ml) is a brightening serum sold under the brand name "Lilac."
Sourcing note -- manufacturer and country of origin unresolved: no official Lilac brand website could be located (the brand's Facebook page exists but could not be accessed). Sources conflict on origin and manufacturer: one Bangladeshi retailer (Shajgoj) states the product is "Made in P.R.C." (China), while another (Badami) states the country of origin is "Thailand (though manufactured in P.R.C.)" and additionally names "Skin Cafe Limited" (a separate, independently-confirmed Bangladeshi brand researched elsewhere in this catalog) as a possible marketer/distributor -- this Skin Cafe Limited connection could not be corroborated by any other source. Both conflicting claims are disclosed here rather than resolved to one. The full ingredient list below is sourced from only one retailer (OhSoGo) and could not be cross-verified against an independent ingredient database or a second retailer's full list.
