• On Ascorbates

    Posted by Anonymous on October 25, 2018 at 5:26 pm
    I’m finding it difficult to source any data comparing the efficacy of Ascorbyl Glucoside vs Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate as sources of Vit C in the epidermis, and their formulation attributes. 
    If anyone has particular experience working with or researching these raw material  please do chime in.
    Thank you!

    @CriticalMicelle

    I think the major difference is that Ascorbyl Glucoside is considerably more expensive than SAP.  Other than that, I don’t think you’re going to find a major difference in effectiveness between the two.

    I may be wrong, but isn’t the function of vitamin C (derivatives) to act as a collagen reductase inhibitor in the SC? I have not worked with it as much as Mark, so I can’t weigh in on the differences; I thought defining the mechanism of action could point you in the right research direction.
