The Basics On Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
What is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate?
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C that functions as an antioxidant.
What are other names for Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate?
2-(DIHYDROGEN PHOSPHATE) TRISODIUM SALT L-ASCORBIC ACID, L-ASCORBIC ACID, 2-(DIHYDROGEN PHOSPHATE), TRISODIUM SALT, SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE, and TRISODIUM SALT L-ASCORBIC ACID, 2-(DIHYDROGEN PHOSPHATE)
What is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate used for?
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) provides the same skincare benefits as Vitamin C. Upon topical application, it has been observed that SAP is converted to Vitamin C by chemicals within the skin. This includes a wide range of skincare applications, from anti-aging, pigmentation reduction, antioxidative photodamage repair, protection from free radicals and synthesis and stabilization of skin collagen and elastin.
