Description

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an esterified derivative of ascorbic acid, one of the most stable derivatives of ascorbic acid known. It is also very stable in cosmetic formulations. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate penetrates into the skin and there it is metabolized to ascorbic acid. Due to this process, its efficacy is better than the one of pure ascorbic acid. It penetrates into the skin where it is metabolized to free vitamin C. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an excellent skin whitening agent, it is inhibiting Tyrosinase and at the same time, it is a very effective reducing agent. Therefore it has two modes of action to influence melanogenesis. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate also improves effectively the synthesis of collagen and repairs the collagen structure. In addition, it is a very strong antioxidant, eliminating free radicals and preventing lipid peroxidation. It also avoids inflammation and inhibits the formation of edema.
