Description

Ascorbyl Glucoside is a stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C, formed by the glycosylation of ascorbic acid. This chemical modification significantly enhances its stability against oxidation, heat, and light, making it a highly effective and long-lasting source of Vitamin C activity. It is a key ingredient for industries requiring a reliable and gentle antioxidant. Primary applications include the formulation of advanced cosmetic and personal care products, as well as functional ingredients for the nutraceutical and food sectors.

Application

• Cosmetic Skin Brightening & Anti-Aging: A premier active in serums, creams, and lotions to inhibit melanin production, reduce hyperpigmentation, and promote a more even skin tone.
• Antioxidant Protection in Cosmetics: Protects skin cells from oxidative damage caused by UV radiation and environmental pollutants, helping to prevent premature aging.
• Functional Food & Beverage Additive: Used as a stable source of Vitamin C in fortified drinks, dietary supplements, and health foods.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed in topical formulations for its antioxidant properties and role in collagen synthesis.
• Hair Care Products: Incorporated into shampoos and conditioners to protect hair from environmental stress and improve scalp health.
• Research & Development: Serves as a stable biochemical reagent in life science research for studying antioxidant mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our Ascorbyl Glucoside is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and assay, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for cosmetic and nutraceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
