Ultra-pure, refined Vitamin C
Explanation:
Actually using both refined *and* pure is the best for this field. In cosmetic & health related fields vitamins, essential oils, extracts, and so forth are often referred to as "Pure, refined XX" in English, indicating that the source is pure (presumably natural origin) and processed accordingly. Ultra-pure sounds awkward but in the health/cosmetic industries it's a commonly used term.

"If you place the fish oil you're currently using in the freezer, and it freezes, it's NOT ultra pure? SeaLogix Fish Oil will NOT freeze! This is how ultra-pure and refined SeaLogix Fish Oil is! "

high-purity Vitamin C, highly purified Vitamin C or high purity (refined) Vitamin C


Explanation:
"purified" sounds better than "refined". The former describes the quality of the product while the latter desribes the process of the production. Thus I recommend "high-purity Vitamin C" or "highly purified Vitamin C". If you want to keep "refined", you can say "high-purity (refined) Vitamin C".

Ultra-pure, highly refined Vitamin C


Explanation:
Umberto,

How about "ultra-pure, highly refined Vitamin C"? I do not like wordy(verbose) translation but if this is for med/cosmetic ad copy or something, it does not sound bad to me. Or if you think it is redundant, just go for "highly refined Vitamin C". How do you like?
