Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
$11.50/ 10 gm.
Skin Actives Exclusive
Further information: magnesium ascorbyl phosphate will be transformed by the skin
enzymes into ascorbic acid, an antioxidant and a cofactor for an enzyme crucial
in the synthesis of collagen (prolyl hydrolase). As an antioxidant agent,
vitamin C scavenges and destroys reactive oxidizing agents and other free
radicals. Because of this ability, it provides important protection against
damage induced by UV radiation (and the DNA mutations and cancer that may result
from it). Vitamin C also improves skin elasticity, decreases wrinkles by
stimulating collagen synthesis, reduces erythema, promotes wound healing and
suppresses cutaneous pigmentation. Because body control mechanisms limit the
amount of ingested vitamin C available to skin, topical antioxidant therapy
becomes an efficient way to target vitamin C directly into skin.
Properties: the "real" ester-C, a more
stable and oil soluble form of ascorbic acid, will stimulate collagen synthesis.
Anti-age, anti-oxidant (hydrophilic), anti-acne, skin brightening, decrease
appearance of sun spots.
Use: Use at 10% in a cream or gel. Adding MAP to a cream can affect the texture, causing the cream to liquify. This will not affect the activity, merely change the texture. This happens because MAP has a lot of salts which cause a change in the interaction of the molecules in the cream. Mixing MAP with Sea Kelp Bioferment has little to no effect on texture.
Each tube is enough for about 4 oz (makes 10% concentration) of cream or lotion
and can be combined with our other actives. Use in your favourite cream or
purchase our Canvas base cream or Sea Kelp bioferment (sea kelp is perfect for
people with oily skin). Caution: Mixing with a cream can
effect the texture.
Anti-age, anti-oxidant (hydrophilic), anti-acne, skin
brightening, decrease appearance of sun spots.
