Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate

Synonyms: Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, MAP, Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate, Vitamin C Phosphate Magnesium Salt, Magnesium L-Ascorbyl-2-Phosphate

Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (MAP) is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C, synthesized by phosphorylating L-ascorbic acid and chelating it with magnesium. This modification yields a stable, non-irritating compound that retains the biological activity of ascorbic acid while overcoming its notorious instability in aqueous formulations. MAP is supplied as a high-purity, cosmetic-grade active, typically ≥95% assay, and is widely used as a functional ingredient in skincare and personal care products.

As a vitamin C derivative, MAP has carved a niche in the cosmetic industry, particularly in anti-aging and skin-brightening formulations. Its ability to deliver the benefits of vitamin C without the drawbacks of rapid oxidation makes it a preferred choice for formulators targeting stable, effective products. Beyond cosmetics, MAP is also explored in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications where a stable vitamin C source is needed.
