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.

Licochalcone A is a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial flavonoid that regulates sebum, protects against UV damage, and soothes sensitive skin—making it an essential active ingredient in acne care, anti-aging, and sun protection formulations.
Dipotassium glycyrrhizate is a salt derived from glycyrrhizic acid, which is found in licorice root. It’s commonly used in skincare products for its anti-inflammatory, soothing, and anti-irritant properties. It can help reduce redness and inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions like eczema or rosacea. Additionally, it’s sometimes used in food and beverage products as a sweetener or flavoring agent.
Grand Kojic, kojic acid, is a whitening agent that is produced by the fermentation and purification of glucose or sucrose under the action of kojic enzyme. It works by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. Grand Kojic can also inhibit the activity of n-hydroxyindoleate (DHICA) oxidase and block the polymerization of dihydroxyindole (DHI). This makes it a rare single whitening agent that can simultaneously inhibit a variety of enzymes involved in melanin production.
Grand Alpha-Arbutin is a highly valued cosmetic ingredient used in skincare formulations. Through a bioenzymatic transformation, it acquires a single α configuration, ensuring exceptional purity and stability.
GI-TA,Tranexamic acid, is an innovative and highly effective whitening agent that targets melanin reduction and pigmentation reduction. Traditional whitening agents primarily focus on inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase in melanosomes to reduce melanin production. However, these agents only partially inhibit melanin production and accumulation, and achieving a complete block is challenging.
VC-TIP is an oil-soluble derivative of vitamin C, which possesses numerous beneficial properties when used as a cosmetic ingredient. These properties include skin brightening, promotion of collagen synthesis, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation.
VC-AA2G, also known as ascorbyl glucoside, is a stable derivative of vitamin C that offers numerous benefits in skincare. It is a water-soluble compound that combines the antioxidant properties of vitamin C with the stability and skin-friendly characteristics of glucose.
VC-EAA 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid is a stable, water- and oil-soluble derivative of pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that offers all of the primary benefits vitamin C is known for, such as brightening, wrinkle reduction, visible firming, fading hyperpigmentation to restore a more even skin tone and offsetting numerous triggers of environmental damage.
As a modified and more stable version of pure vitamin C, 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid must be converted to vitamin C within skin by sodium-dependent proteins. This process within skin’s surface layers helps ensure skin benefits.
