VC-MAP

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. It is the magnesium salt of ascorbic acid-2-phosphate, and its stability makes it a preferred ingredient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, especially in those requiring longer shelf lives and reduced oxidation. As an antioxidant, MAP offers similar properties to pure ascorbic acid but with enhanced stability and reduced susceptibility to degradation in the presence of light, air, and heat.
