BENEFITS OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE FOR SKIN:
At its core, any type of vitamin C is a top-notch antioxidant, although it delivers other types of benefits as well.

*Fights free radicals: 
To that antioxidant point, “it works to combat the effects of UV damage by scavenging the free radicals that cause DNA changes and lead to signs of photoaging. 
(As a quick reminder, exposure to sun and pollution creates free radicals in the skin, which ultimately can cause things such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging—vitamin C combats this.)


*Boosts collagen production: 
Along with those antioxidant properties, sodium ascorbyl phosphate is an ideal anti-aging ingredient, as with other vitamin C formulations, it has the ability to stimulate the production of collagen, the protein responsible for strong, youthful skin.
(Interestingly enough, ingesting vitamin C can have the same effect.)


*Evens out skin tone: 
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a great ingredient for those looking to combat hyperpigmentation or dark spots. 
By inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme needed to produce melanin (pigment), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can help both fade existing and ward off future discoloration.


*Has anti-acne benefits: 
According to a 2011 study sodium ascorbyl phosphate may have an antibacterial effect, and it has been proven to be an effective acne treatment.
Coupled with the fact that Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate less irritating than other forms of the vitamin, it's a good pick for those prone to breakouts.

HOW OFTEN CAN YOU USE SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE: 
Once to twice daily, although it’s always a good idea to start by using Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate just a few times per week and gradually increasing the frequency in order to ensure your skin can tolerate it.

SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE: WORKS WELL WITH:
Other antioxidants, in particular vitamin E and ferulic acid, as well as hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid.

DON'T USE SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE WITH:
Benzoyl peroxide can oxidize Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, and retinols work best at a different pH, says Farber. 
If both of these are a part of your regimen, use them at different times of the day.

THE OTHER MAJOR BENEFITS OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE:
Most forms of vitamin C, l-ascorbic acid in particular, are notorious for being highly unstable, and easily degraded when exposed to light or oxygen. 
(This is why you'll often hear that it's best to look for vitamin C products housed in dark, opaque bottles.) 
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is considered to be one of the more stable forms of the vitamin and is light-, oxygen-, and water-stable. 

And that makes Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate not only easier to incorporate into different product formulations, but also means you don't have to worry about it losing its potency.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE?
*Anti-aging.
We all know UVA and UVB radiation from sun exposure causes degenerative effects that speed along the aging process.

Luckily Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a badass oxygen species scavenger that protects against UV damage, and enhances the photoprotective properties of sunscreen. 
Speaking of photoprotection, we all know how important that is when treating hyperpigmentation issues. 

Much like a tyrosinase inhibitor, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has skin-lightening properties by inhibiting melanin production (melanin being the skin pigment responsible for all your hyperpigmention woes).
However, the research on the skin lightening benefits of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is scarce and needs to be examined more thoroughly. 


*Badass natural acne-killer.
In a vitro study, a group of researches were able to show that a measly 1% concentration of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (yes, 1%) has strong antimicrobial effects against acne for 8 hours! 

The same researchers also found that 5% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate lotion used for 12 weeks produced excellent results in 76.9% of patients, which is considerably higher than other prescribed acne treatments. 
Best of all, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate treats acne with no side effects. 

SKIN BENEFITS OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE:
*A powerhouse antioxidant
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate will help protect skin cells against everyday pollutants, UV rays and free radicals that cause skin ageing by neutralising the free radicals. 

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can also help calm inflammation caused by oxidative stresses and is beneficial for those that smoke. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a water soluble, stable & gentle derivative of Vitamin C

This form of Vitamin C is likely to be more beneficial for those with sensitive skin types. 
This is because Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has to go through an enzymatic process in the skin which converts it to the bioactive L-Ascorbic Acid. 
This process means Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate will be less irritating and more stable.


*Brightens dull complexions
Proven to help reduce age spots, pigmentation, discolourations and dry, dull skin by renewing skin luminosity.


*Increases collagen production
Increasing collagen in the skin will help keep skin plump to fight against the signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate will help prevent sagging and keep skin looking smooth.


*Antimicrobial Effect
Studies show that Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate prevents the growth of spot-causing bacteria and has also been proven to reduce blackheads by 30% in just four weeks.

WHY WE USE SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE:
"We use this form of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate as it is suitable for all skin types (unlike ascorbic acid) while still having the well-known benefits of vitamin C. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is also clinically proven to brighten, even skin tone and reduce skin blemishes within 4 weeks.  

Furthermore, acne is not just a concern for teenagers. 
More and more adults experience acne or hormonal breakouts in their lifetime and we wanted something that could be used as a daily solution to promote general skin radiance."

HOW TO USE SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE:
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can be used on a daily basis, several times a day. 
For example for hydration and luminosity we recommend using our toners morning and evening after cleansing, as well as throughout the day to keep skin hydrated and bright. 

These toners can be sprayed on top of makeup.
We highly recommend using a minimum of SPF 30 alongside Vitamin C during the day, to ensure further protection from free radicals and UV rays.

WHO SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE IS BEST FOR:
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a must-have in every skincare routine. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is suitable for the following skin concerns:
*Sensitive skin

HOW DOES SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE BENEFIT THE SKIN?
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate fights free radical damage.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a powerhouse antioxidant. 

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate neutralises free radicals (caused by UV damage, pollution, etc.) and protects skin from fine lines and premature ageing that they’re known for causing. 

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate works beautifully alongside your everyday (yes, everyday) SPF to ensure skin is happy, healthy, and thoroughly protected from environmental damage.


*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate aids in collagen production.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has also been proven to stimulate collagen production in skin cells cultivated in-vitro. 
Collagen is a protein that your body naturally produces; it’s what keeps your skin plump and bouncy, so by stimulating its production Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can help prevent sagging and keep your skin lovely and firm.


*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate boosts facial radiance.
If you’re interested in luminous skin, look no glow further. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, like the clever Vitamin C derivative it is, is known for its brightening abilities and for targeting hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and dark spots. 

WHAT SKIN TYPES CAN USE SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE?
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a total Libra, striking the perfect balance for all kinds of skin.
As I mentioned above, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is known to have antimicrobial properties against some acne-causing bacteria. 

This means Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate’s highly suitable for the acne-prone, whose skin is often too sensitive to use Vitamin C. 
And because it’s not acidic, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is less intense than L-Ascorbic Acid, which means that it’s also a great option for the sensitive-skinned.

VITAMIN C VS. SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Vitamin C in its pure, active form is known as ascorbic acid. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a vitamin C derivative that gets converted to ascorbic acid in the skin. 

So why, you might ask, is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate used in skincare formulation at all? 
For a couple of reasons.

Firstly, Vitamin C in its pure form, or in other words, ascorbic acid, is notoriously unstable, particularly when exposed to light and air. 
This instability can cause the vitamin to oxidise, losing its potency and potentially causing skin irritation. 

On the contrary, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a significantly more stable derivative of Vitamin C, and maintains its effectiveness over time, even when exposed to environmental stressors.

Secondly, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is also generally gentler on the skin, making it a better choice for those with sensitive skin or who have had negative reactions to ascorbic acid in the past.

Finally, while both forms of Vitamin C offer antioxidant benefits, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has also shown notable sebum-regulating and anti-acne properties, which are less well-established with pure ascorbic acid.

SO IS SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE A GOOD SOURCE OF VITAMIN C?
Yes, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an excellent source of Vitamin C in skincare. 
Not only does it offer the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin C, but it's also stable and less likely to cause irritation, making it a superior choice for a broader range of skin types.

THE BENEFITS OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE FOR YOUR SKIN?:

*Antioxidant Protection: 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has powerful antioxidant properties, and protects the skin from free radical damage, which can lead to premature ageing.

*Collagen Production: 
By stimulating collagen synthesis, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate helps to maintain the skin's elasticity and youthful appearance.

*Brightening of Skin Tone: 
SAP has proven effective in reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and improving overall skin tone.

*Sebum Regulation and Anti-acne Effects: 
Particularly beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has demonstrated significant sebum-regulating and anti-acne effects in several studies.

EFFECTS-MECHANISM OF EFFECT OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE:
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate provides anti-aging and anti-wrinkle effects by stimulating collagen production in the cells.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate protects the skin from external factors by providing an antioxidant effect by preventing the formation of free radicals that cause oxidative stress in the cell.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate helps reduce multi-cause spots and scars on the skin by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme that plays a role in the secretion of melanin (the pigment that gives color to the skin).

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate reduces color tone inequalities on the skin and provides brightness and radiance.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate controls sebum by inhibiting the 5-lipoxyginase enzyme. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate reduces lipid peroxidation. 

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is effective against microorganisms that cause acne. 
Thus, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate keeps the skin balanced by reducing the formation of comedones and balancing the excessive oiliness of the skin. 

COSMETIC BENEFITS OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE:
*esterified derivative of Ascorbic Acid
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate penetrates into the skin and shows better efficacy than pure Ascorbic Acid
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate decreases the generation of melanin by inhibition of tyrosinase activity
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate acts as an antioxidant
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate decreases wrinkle progression
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate reduces fine lines
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate improves skin lightening
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate improves radiance and an even skin tone
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate increases collagen production
*Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate reduces and repairs sun damage on the skin

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE FOR OUR SKIN?
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is the milder and more stable form of topical vitamin C. 
Since it is mild, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has a lesser propensity to irritate and hence is suitable for all skin types. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has various benefits on the skin like,


*Anti-aging
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate, like other forms of vitamin C, is a free radical scavenger and protects the cells from UV-induced photodamage. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate also helps in the formation of new collagen fibers which gives skin a younger appearance.

 
*Brightening of skin tone
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can bring about a brightening effect by indirectly inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase which is important in the formation of melanin and thus helps in fading of dark spots and also bringing in even skin tone. 
A minimum of 3% and above is required to bring in this effect.


*Natural acne killer
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has been shown that it is helpful against both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris, making it a favorable form of vitamin C preparation when it comes to acne-prone skin. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can be used as a non-antibiotic but, still an effective form of treatment for acne vulgaris.  
Moreover clinical trials have shown that sodium ascorbyl phosphate has better efficacy than 5% benzoyl peroxide, 1% clindamycin plus 0.1% adapalene.

HOW DOES SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE COMPARE WITH OTHER FORMS OF VITAMIN C?
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a stable but milder variant of topical vitamin C. 
Though Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is known to have a better penetration capacity in comparison with topical ascorbic acid, there are not many studies to prove the same. 

EFFICACY OF SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE:
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is less efficacious in comparison with topical ascorbic acid, but with increased stability.
Other than the other known benefits of topical vitamin C preparations, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is also known to have anti-acne benefits. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate has the least irritation potential when compared to other forms of vitamin C and hence it can be safely used on all types of skin.


 
HOW TO USE SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE?
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is available in various preparations such as – lotions, serums, masks, cleansers, toners, etc. 
The best form of topical preparation to be used is in the form of serums. 
For maximum benefit, it is better to use Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate twice a day, and should be followed up with sunscreen in the morning.

HOW DOES SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE ACT ON OUR SKIN?
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate once applied is cleaved to release free ascorbic acid by the enzymes in the skin, which (ascorbic acid) brings about all the benefits which the action is known to offer.


1) Anti-acne benefits.
This is one of the unique properties of this activity. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is known to reduce both the inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions of acne vulgaris. 
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate brings about such effects by inhibiting the lipid peroxidation of sebum, which is the driving force behind cosmogenesis and inflammation in acne.


2) Photo-protective properties
Like other Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate preparations, this also helps in scavenging the free radicals that could have been generated on sun exposure. 
By doing so, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate prevents the free radical-induced damage on the DNA and hence protecting the cells from solar injury.


3) Neo-collagenases
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate helps in cross-linking of collagen fibers and also helps in building new collagen fibers.


4) Skin lightening / depigmenting properties
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is an enzyme required in the synthesis of melanin. 
Melanin is the pigment that imparts color to our skin.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate also offers photoprotection against UV-induced skin darkening. 
However, this property is less pronounced in comparison with other forms of topical vitamin C.
