Product Description:

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a water-soluble, non-irritating, stable derivative of Vitamin C. It has the same potential as vitamin C to boost skin collagen synthesis but is effective in significantly lower concentrations, and can be used at concentrations as low as 10% to suppress melanin formation (in skin-whitening solutions). It is also important to note that Magnesuim Ascorbyl Phosphate may be better choice than Vitamin C for people with sensitive skin and those wishing to avoid any exfoliating effects since many Vitamin C formulas are highly acidic (and therefore produce exfoliating effects).
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a very stable vitamin C derivatives(L-Ascorbic acid mono-dihydrogen phosphate magnesium salt)which does not degrade in formulas containing water.In skin care products,Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is used for UV protection and repair,collagen production,skin lightening and brightening,and as an anti-inflammatory.It is also a potent antioxidant.It is considered an excellent non-irritating sakin whitening agent that inhibits skin cells to produce melanin and lightens age spots,and is a great alternative to Quinone.Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a also a potent anti-oxidant that can potect skin from oxidation and UV rays,and is used as an anti-inflammatory(source).It can improve appearance of aged and fragile skin.Widely used as add-on ingredient in skin-lightening products to correct hyperpigmentation and age spots.Antioxidant effect can be increased by combining Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate with L-Ascorbic acid and/or vitamin E.
