Description
Premium Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) 99% – also known as Ascorbyl PM – is a compound widely used to stimulate collagen production. In skincare products it is used for its ability to protect the skin from free radicals, brighten the skin tone, stimulate collagen production, reduce hyperpigmentation, and maintain skin hydration. Vitamin C has a similar ability in itself, but the molecule is highly unstable in water. MAP by contrast provides a stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C.
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (MAP) has also been shown to be effective when used to lighten and brighten the skin tone. It exhibits the positive effects of vitamin C on the skin, but lacks the negative side-effects, such as sensitivity to light, heat, metal ions, and oxygen.
Moreover, MAP is a versatile substance, because it can be used as food additive to comestible food, in healthcare supplements, drinks and cosmetic products. Since it is a stable antioxidant, it can also be used canned or bag-packed food to extend the shelf life.
