INCI name
3-Glyceryl Ascorbate

3-Glyceryl Ascorbate is a stable vitamin C derivative produced by binding glycerin to ascorbic acid. It is a multifunctional anti-aging ingredient.

Due to its cost-benefit, 3-glyceryl Ascorbate is suitable for developing unique formulations containing a high concentration of vitamin C derivatives. Formulations containing this ingredient exhibit high temporal stability and are resistant to discoloration.

Derivatizing the unstable ascorbic acid with glycerin enhances its stability against oxidation, making it possible to formulate it confidently into cosmetics. Like other glyceryl ascorbates, 3-glyceryl Ascorbate also has an inhibitory effect on melanin production and a moisturizing effect. It is suitable for anti-aging, anti-acne, and skin-whitening applications.

3-Glyceryl Ascorbate provides additional beneficial effects, including antioxidant action and enhanced collagen production. It can be formulated into skin toners, gels, and emulsions, such as skin creams, thus allowing it to be used in various formulations and increased concentrations.
