Ascorbyl Glucoside

Description

Ascorbyl Glucoside is a stable and effective vitamin C derivative widely used in cosmetics and skincare for its antioxidant and skin-brightening properties. It combines ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with glucose, enhancing its stability and skin penetration. It helps to neutralize free radicals, protect skin from environmental damage, and reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. It also promotes collagen synthesis and improves skin texture.
Here’s a more detailed look at its use in cosmetics:
Benefits:
Antioxidant Protection:
Ascorbyl Glucoside acts as a potent antioxidant, protecting skin cells from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution.
Skin Brightening:
It inhibits melanin production, helping to fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, leading to a brighter and more radiant complexion.
Anti-Aging:
By stimulating collagen production, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin elasticity and firmness.
Improved Skin Texture:
Ascorbyl Glucoside can help improve overall skin texture, making it smoother and more supple.
Gentle on Skin:
Unlike pure ascorbic acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside is a more stable and gentle form of vitamin C, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Time-Released Delivery:
When applied to the skin, it is gradually converted into active vitamin C, providing a sustained release of benefits over time.
How it’s used:
Serums:
Commonly found in lightweight, water-based serums, often at a concentration of 12%.
Creams and Lotions:
It can also be incorporated into creams, lotions, and other skincare products.
