- Application field
Ascorbyl glucoside is a natural vitamin C that contains glucose stabilizers;
Compared with other vitamin C derivatives, ascorbyl glucoside has good stability and solubility in solution, high temperature, low pH or the presence of metal ions will not have a qualitative impact on it, and can essentially inhibit VC. Discoloration and degradation in cosmetics, while retaining the full biological activity of VC;
