Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Low risk

FunctionAntioxidant

What it is — Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable, water-soluble derivative of vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

What it does — It is used as an antioxidant and is valued as a gentler, more shelf-stable way to include vitamin C in a formula.

Typical use — Found in serums, essences, moisturizers and brightening-themed products.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen by those who find pure vitamin C too harsh, as derivatives tend to be milder. Benefit depends on the finished formula.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is sensitive.
