Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a powerful and effective antioxidant that protects the skin cells against damage caused by free radicals.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) is a stable, water-soluble Vitamin C derivative which not only protects the skin but also improves it appearance.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) is a stable Vitamin C derivative and is offered in a mainly White to pale Beige powder format that is practically odourless.

Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP, for short) is a stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C made from combining ascorbic acid with a phosphate and a salt, compounds which work with enzymes in skin to cleave (split) the ingredient and release pure ascorbic acid, which is the most researched form of vitamin C.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP or Trisodium ascorbyl phosphate) is the sodium salt of the ascorbic acid's monophosphate ester, a stable form of vitamin C for skin care formulations.
Stabilization has therefore been an essential issue for many years.

One elegant way to overcome the stability problem is by temporarily blocking the active center of the ascorbic acid molecule.
So, this is the principle of stable Sodium ascorbyl phosphate that enhances the performance of cosmetic products is no longer a dream.
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a white powder, easily soluble in water to concentrations up to 50%.

As distinct from ascorbic acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is exceptionally stable in aqueous solutions.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a provitamin, so to become biologically active L-ascorbic acid, the vitamin must first be freed by phosphatase enzymes that are ordinarily constituent in the skin.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an active, stable vitamin C derivative ingredient for the cosmetics industry.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate liberates vitamin C in the skin and protects the cells of the skin, promotes collagen formation, controls the formation of senile keratosis, and lightens dark skin.

Vitamin C in the form of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) is highly stable.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is different from Vitamin C in other forms in that it is alkaline (pH 8-11) and must be in a formula with a pH in the range of 7-9.

Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a stable derivative of ascorbic acid or vitamin C.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a white to off-white powder with solubility in water, containing about 45% of ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient required to synthesize collagen, maintain healthy skin and blood vessels.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) is a water soluble and gentle form of Vitamin C that is known to be more stable for use in skincare than pure ascorbic acid.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a combination of ascorbic acid, a phosphate and a salt and works as an antioxidant to protect and improve the skin’s environmental defense barrier.

Vitamin C within skincare is considered a pro-ageing superstar ingredient that everyone can use within their daily routine.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate protects the skin’s barrier, reduces pigmentation to even skin tone and stimulates collagen production for firmer, plumper skin.

Pure ascorbic acid is highly acidic, unstable and can easily become oxidised when exposed to light and heat.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a derivative of ascorbic acid and is therefore less likely to become unstable.
This is because Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is made up of approximately 50% ascorbic acid and is stable up to a pH of 7.

This makes Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate more gentle on the skin.
An added benefit of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is that it treats acne-prone skin as it has an antimicrobial effect and reduces inflammation.
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (often abbreviated SAP) is a stable phosphate ester derivative of vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an active stable vitamin C derivative ingredient for the cosmetics industry.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable derivative of Vitamin C that is soluble in water.
The chemical formula of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is C6H9O9P3Na.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a salt of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), used as an antioxidant.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is the sodium salt form of skincare superstar, vitamin C.

USES and APPLICATIONS of SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE:
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can be used in a wide range of skincare products like Antiwrinkle skincare products, Day and Night Creams, Skin Lotions, Skin Whitening products and Sun protection Creams.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate promotes collagen formation and acts on the melanine formation process to prevent hyperpigmentation hence its popularity in Skin Aging products and is also capable of replenishing Vitamin E’s antioxidant capacity.

There has also been an interest in cosmetics containing vitamin C for many years since consumers know the beneficial effects when ingested as citrus fruits or vitamin supplements.
However, the many talents of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in skincare have been underused because of its instability against oxidation and the resulting browning of products in which it was used.

Thus, cosmetic manufacturers could not make full use of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate's beneficial effects as an antioxidant, a collagen booster, or a skin lightener.
In skincare formulas, Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is an antioxidant that works to eliminate free radicals.

In addition, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can stimulate collagen repair, thus diminishing some of the effects of photoaging.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is also capable of replenishing Vitamin E's antioxidant capacity.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is mainly used in cosmetic and personal care products.

Applications: Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is used in the formulation of creams, lotions, gels, sun care, makeup, and other skincare products.
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) is specifically produced for use as a stabilized source of vitamin C in cosmetic products.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is light-stable and oxygen-stable.

Ascorbic acid content of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is at least 45%.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate may discolor at pH levels below 6.
Add Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate at the end of the formulation process just before the preservative, by pre-dissolving in a little distilled water.

Typical use level of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is 0.2-3%, but up to 10%.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is used for external use only.
Applications of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate: Lotions, creams, sun care & after sun products, makeup products.

Just like pure vitamin C, sodium ascorbyl phosphate functions as an antioxidant on and within skin.
When used in higher amounts, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can be effective for brightening a dull skin tone, smoothing wrinkles, visibly firming skin, and reducing discolourations.

The usual concentration of sodium ascorbyl phosphate in skin care ranges from 0.2-3%, an effective range to help improve skin’s environmental defenses and target lines and wrinkles, especially when paired with oil-soluble vitamin E for antioxidant synergy that improves the stability of both ingredients.

A 5% concentration of sodium ascorbyl phosphate was shown in a comparative study with the same amount of ascorbic acid to have equivalent wrinkle-smoothing and elasticity-increasing benefit to skin around the eyes.
Amounts above 3% are considered necessary to target discolourations, similar to the range research has shown ascorbic acid works within to target this concern.

There is also research showing amounts of 1% and 5% concentrations of sodium ascorbyl phosphate can influence factors linked to breakouts, likely due to its skin soothing effect.
Thus, this form of vitamin C, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, may be an effective adjunct to anti-blemish products that contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.

Along with other forms of vitamin C, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is considered safe as used in skin care products.
This versatile form of vitamin C, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, works in both water- and oil-based formulas without breaking down, but despite this impressive stability, packaging is still important.

This is because such stability isn’t impenetrable, meaning ongoing exposure to light and air can still weaken its efficacy, although certainly not as quickly as occurs with pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate liberates vitamin C in the skin and protects the cells of the skin, promotes collagen formation, controls the formation of senile keratosis, and lightens dark skin.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is designed to improve the stability and aqueous solubility of vitamin C for use in cosmetic and topical formulations.
Under physiological / skin enzyme action, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can be converted to active ascorbic acid, thus serving as a prodrug / precursor form of vitamin C.

In cosmetics and skincare, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is valued because it is less irritating than pure ascorbic acid, more stable to oxidation, and water-soluble, making it compatible in many aqueous formulations.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate serves as an antioxidant, effectively combating free radicals and protecting the skin from environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate also possesses skin brightening properties, aiding in the reduction of hyperpigmentation and promoting an even skin tone.
Moreover, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate plays a role in collagen synthesis, contributing to skin firmness and elasticity, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Its stability and compatibility make Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate popular in various skincare formulations.

We highly recommend using a minimum of SPF 30 alongside Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate during the day, to ensure further protection from free radicals and UV rays.

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

*Fights free radicals:
To that antioxidant point, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate 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 it’s less irritating than other forms of the vitamin, it's a good pick for those prone to breakouts.
