Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a synthetic derivative of ascorbic acid, stable and water-soluble, commonly used in skincare and cosmetic products. It has the potential to reduce hyperpigmentation, brighten skin tones and provide antioxidant protection. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is more stable than ascorbic acid and is less prone to degradation, which makes it a suitable ingredient in cosmetic products.
