Description
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a stable, water-soluble Vitamin C derivative, offering a reliable alternative to pure ascorbic acid, which can be unstable. MAP is known for its exceptional stability in cosmetic formulations. While it needs to be converted into ascorbic acid in the skin to be effective, in-vitro studies show that it can enhance collagen synthesis. More specifically, human studies have proven MAP effective as a skin-brightening agent, helping to even out skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation. It is an excellent choice for those seeking the brightening benefits of Vitamin C with enhanced stability.
Additional information
- Stable, water-soluble Vitamin C derivative, less prone to oxidation than pure Vitamin C.
- Effectively brightens the skin and helps reduce the appearance of age spots and hyperpigmentation.
- Supports collagen synthesis, helping contribute to firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
