VC-AA2G

Ascorbyl Glucoside (also known as Vitamin C Glucoside) is a stable derivative of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), created by conjugating ascorbic acid with glucose at the 2-position of the molecule. This modification enhances the stability of ascorbic acid, as glucose serves as a protective group that prevents oxidation, making Ascorbyl Glucoside suitable for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, especially in products that require longer shelf life.
