Description

Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside is a stable, glycosylated derivative of Vitamin C, offering enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to its parent compound. This matters for formulators seeking a long-lasting, effective source of Vitamin C activity in products exposed to air, light, or heat. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, nutraceutical, and functional food industries.

Application

• Skin Brightening & Anti-Aging Cosmetics: As a stable source of Vitamin C in serums, creams, and lotions to inhibit melanin production and promote collagen synthesis.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: For enriching drinks, dairy products, and supplements with a stable form of Vitamin C that resists degradation during processing and storage.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Formulations: Used in tablets, capsules, and powders where ingredient stability and controlled release are critical.
• Hair Care Products: Incorporated into shampoos and conditioners to provide antioxidant benefits and protect hair from environmental damage.
• Medical & Cosmetic Topical Solutions: For use in patches, gels, or solutions designed for targeted skin treatment.
