Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate Vit C Water Soluble

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is the newest rage in Vitamin C's. It helps reduce signs of aging by brightening and balancing uneven skin tone as well is reduces acne inflammation.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic acid mono-dihydrogen phosphate magnesium salt).

Unlike L-Ascorbic Acid, it does not readily degrade in formulas containing water.  It is considered light-stable and oxygen-stable. Studies of MAP in aqueous solutions indicate it retains over 95% of its potency at 40°C without any pH adjustment.

• Creams and lotions

This is a cosmetic raw material and is meant for external use only.

INCI: Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

By inhibiting tyrosinase activity, MAP is capable of suppressing skin pigmentation, making it effective in whitening dark skin, or areas of dark skin.  It should be noted, one study indicated it might be needed at a concentration of 10% to be effective at inhibiting melanin production¹.

Unlike Ascorbyl Palmitate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate appears to have the same potential to boost skin collagen synthesis as does Ascorbic Acid, but at lower concentrations. For those with sensitive skin or those wanting to avoid the exfoliating effects of highly acidic Ascorbic Acid, MAP may be the preferred choice.
