Cosmate^®MAP,Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Magnesium L-Ascorbic Acid-2-Phosphate, Vitamin C Magnesium Phosphate,is a salt form of Vitamin C that is used in skincare products for its ability to protect the skin from free radicals, stimulate collagen production, reduce hyperpigmentation, and maintain skin hydration. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is considered to be a stable and effective antioxidant for the skin and usually comes in concentrations around 5%. It has a neutral or skin neutral pH which makes it easy to formulate with and reduces the likelihood of sensitivity and irritation. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate functions as an antioxidant. Like other antioxidants, it is capable of protecting the skin from free radicals. Specifically, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate donates electrons to neutralize free radicals such as the superoxide ion and peroxide that are generated when the skin is exposed to UV light. Cosmate^®MAP is classified in general as a salt and is commonly used in the treatment of Vitamin C deficiency signs and symptoms. Although Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is widely used in the treatment and prevention of various skin health conditions, modern studies show that it may provide many other benefits due to its antioxidant effects,also used to make health products containing magnesium ascorbyl phosphate supplements.When taken in the form of health supplements, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is believed to help enhance body’s detoxification process, thereby cleansing body cells from damaging toxic compounds and preventing development of toxin-associated disorders. It is also believed that Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate supplementation may enhance wellness by activating several patterns and processes in the human body.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is another stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) commonly used in skincare. Like Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP), it offers the benefits of Vitamin C but with enhanced stability and gentleness. Once applied to the skin, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is converted into active ascorbic acid by skin enzymes, delivering the benefits of Vitamin C.

Benefits in Skincare:

Antioxidant Properties: Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate protects the skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure and environmental pollutants.

Brightening: Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate helps reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone by inhibiting melanin production.

Collagen Synthesis: Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate promotes collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hydration: Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate has humectant properties, helping to retain moisture in the skin.

Anti-Inflammatory: Soothes irritated or sensitive skin, making Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate suitable for acne-prone or reactive skin types.

Stability: More stable than pure ascorbic acid, especially in formulations with higher pH levels, and less prone to oxidation.

Key Differences from Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP):

Hydration: Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is known for its hydrating properties, making it a good choice for dry or dehydrated skin.

Formulation pH: Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is stable at a slightly higher pH compared to Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, making it easier to formulate in a wider range of products.

Skin Compatibility: Both are gentle, but Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is often preferred for its hydrating and soothing effects.
