Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate

Description:

Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (MAP) is a stable, water-soluble derivative of vitamin C, known for its antioxidant properties and skin benefits. It is formed by the esterification of ascorbic acid with magnesium, which enhances its stability compared to ascorbic acid alone. MAP is often used in cosmetic formulations due to its ability to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote collagen synthesis. It is less irritating than other forms of vitamin C, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. In addition to its cosmetic applications, MAP can also serve as a source of magnesium, which is essential for various biological functions. Its solubility in water allows for easy incorporation into serums, creams, and lotions. Overall, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is valued for its multifunctional properties, combining the benefits of both magnesium and vitamin C, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products aimed at improving skin health and appearance.
