MAP Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 98%

MAP — Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 98% | Stable Vitamin C Derivative

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a gentle, highly stable, water-soluble Vitamin C derivative widely used in professional cosmetic formulations. Unlike pure L-Ascorbic Acid which oxidizes rapidly and requires a low pH, MAP is photostable, pH-tolerant, and exceptionally well-suited for sensitive skin — delivering reliable brightening, antioxidant, and hydrating benefits without stability concerns.

At 98% purity, this is a professional-grade active trusted by skincare formulators across Pakistan for brightening serums, moisturizers, toners, and eye creams.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between MAP and SAP?
A: Both are stable, water-soluble Vitamin C derivatives. MAP (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) is considered slightly gentler and more hydrating, making it particularly suitable for sensitive and dry skin types. SAP (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) has additional documented anti-acne benefits. Both are excellent for brightening formulations.

Q: What is the difference between MAP and L-Ascorbic Acid (pure Vitamin C)?
A: L-Ascorbic Acid is the most potent form of Vitamin C but is highly unstable — it oxidizes quickly and requires a low pH (below 3.5) to be effective. MAP is significantly more stable, works at a higher pH (5–7), and is much gentler on skin, making it far easier to formulate with and better tolerated by sensitive skin.

Q: Can I use MAP with Niacinamide?
A: Yes — MAP and Niacinamide are fully compatible and work synergistically for enhanced brightening and skin-tone evening. The old concern about Niacinamide + Vitamin C causing flushing does not apply to MAP.

Q: Is MAP suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes. MAP is one of the gentlest Vitamin C derivatives available, making it an excellent choice for sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin formulations.

Q: Is COA available?
A: COA available upon request.
