About this ingredient

Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a stable, water-soluble derivative of vitamin C that functions as an antioxidant and skin conditioning agent in cosmetics. It provides antioxidant benefits, brightening effects, and supports collagen synthesis while being more stable than pure ascorbic acid. It is commonly used in serums, moisturizers, and treatment products to protect skin from oxidative stress and improve skin luminosity.
