Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
A stable, water-soluble version of vitamin C called Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) has the ability to balance out skin tone and act as an antioxidant. It was created especially to serve as a stabilised supply of vitamin C for cosmetic goods. It is both oxygen- and light-stable. It is more than 95.0% pure, and at least 45% of the molecule contains ascorbic acid.
Activeman Specialities Pvt Ltd is a leading supplier of Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP), which is is a potent antioxidant for use in wide ranging skin care preparations. It is converted to the Vitamin-C form within the skin by enzymatic activity. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate aids formation of new skin collagen, thus assists in combating photooxidative damage in skin from UV-A exposure. It finds uses in anti-aging, skin antiwrinkle formulations.
There is also research showing amounts of 1% and 5% concentrations of sodium ascorbyl phosphate can influence factors linked to breakouts. Thus, this form of vitamin C may be an effective adjunct to anti-acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
