Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a derivative of Vitamin C that is highly regarded for its stability when used in cosmetic formulations. It is less irritating and more stable than L-Ascorbic Acid in cosmetic products. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a salt of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). It acts as a skin lightener and as an antioxidant to slow deterioration caused by exposure to the air and also to control the pH of the finished product. It can be used in a variety of cosmetics product.
It is a tyrosinase inhibitor that reduces melanin intermediate. After entering human body, it can eliminate oxygen free radicals; also it can promote formation of dermal collagen. It has functions of anti-wrinkle and anti-aging. MAP has become a common additive in whitening and freckle cosmetics.
MAP is used to provide collagen support, anti aging effect, skin lightening to correct hyperpigmentation and age spots, antioxidants effect, and UV protection, can improve appearance of aged and fragile skin.
Unlike L-Ascorbic Acid, it does not readily degrade in formulas containing water. It is considered light-stable and oxygen-stable. Studies of MAP in aqueous solutions indicate it retains over 95% of its potency at 40°C without any pH adjustment.
Since magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is water soluble it is mostly found in water-based products, that are normally in dark bottles that have to be stored in the fridge after opening. It offers optimal protection against oxidative damage and early ageing when combined with a UV filter.
- MAP is stable in neutral pH, and has no irritation to skin.
- It is usually used in combination with vitamin E for synergistic effect.
- It is most stable in solution and emulsion.
- Excessive use of MAP can interfere with normal enzyme conversion of tyrosine into melanin in skin, which may cause adverse reactions to skin.
