MAP Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a white, odorless powder that is water-soluble. It is a derivative of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and contains a magnesium ion attached to the ascorbyl group. MAP is known for its stability and ability to convert to ascorbic acid (active Vitamin C) when absorbed into the skin. As an antioxidant, MAP helps protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. It also has skin-brightening properties and can help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
