SAP (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) 99%

SAP — Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate 99% | Stable Vitamin C Derivative

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) is one of the most stable and effective water-soluble Vitamin C derivatives available for cosmetic formulations. Unlike pure L-Ascorbic Acid which oxidizes rapidly, SAP is highly photostable and pH-tolerant, making it the preferred Vitamin C source for formulators who want reliable brightening, antioxidant, and anti-acne benefits without stability headaches.

At 99% purity, this is a professional-grade active trusted by skincare formulators across Pakistan for serums, creams, toners, and brightening treatments.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

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

Q: What is the difference between SAP and MAP?
A: Both are stable Vitamin C derivatives. SAP (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) is water-soluble and has additional anti-acne benefits. MAP (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) is also water-soluble but is considered slightly gentler and more hydrating. Both are excellent choices for brightening formulations.

Q: Can I use SAP in a serum with Niacinamide?
A: Yes — SAP and Niacinamide are fully compatible and work synergistically for enhanced brightening. The old concern about Niacinamide + Vitamin C causing flushing does not apply to SAP.

Q: Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
A: Yes. SAP has documented anti-acne activity against P. acnes bacteria, making it an excellent choice for acne-prone and blemish-prone skin formulations.

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