Ascorbyl Glucoside (AA2G)

Ascorbyl Glucoside (AA2G), functions as an antioxidant and works well with other replenishing and antioxidant ingredients to preserve key substances skin needs to look smoother, brighter, and younger. Ascorbyl glucoside is a stable form of vitamin C combined with the sugar glucose. The glucose is derived from a natural starch source, such as rice, while the vitamin C portion is synthetic. When properly formulated and absorbed into skin, it breaks down to ascorbic acid, also known as pure vitamin C. Once absorbed, its breakdown to vitamin C is gradual, creating what’s known as a reservoir effect within skin. This leads to longer-lasting benefits.

Krishana Enterprises is a leading supplier of Ascorbyl Glucoside (Ascorbic acid 2-O-glucoside), which is an ascorbic acid derivative and is metabolised to vitamin C after penetrating the skin. Ascorbyl Glucoside repairs and protects against skin damage caused by sun rays. Ascorbyl Glucoside is a highly effective antioxidant, improves collagen synthesis and reduces wrinkles. With its skin-lightening effect, the active ingredient is a popular ingredient for corresponding skin creams and care products. It is widely compatible with other cosmetic ingredients. Unlike the tight pH range ascorbic acid needs to be effective on skin, ascorbyl glucoside works between a pH of 5-8, with the lower end of this spectrum considered better due to being a close match to the normal pH range of skin.
