Magnesium Ascorbyl Phoshpate (MAP)
Introduction
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C widely used in skincare and cosmetic products. It delivers the benefits of Vitamin C—such as skin brightening, antioxidant protection, and collagen support—while offering greater stability and lower irritation compared to pure ascorbic acid.
MAP converts slowly into active Vitamin C on the skin, making it ideal for long-term, gentle, and effective skincare formulations, including products for sensitive skin.
