INCI name
3-Laurylglyceryl Ascorbate
3-Laurylglyceryl Ascorbate is a stable vitamin C derivative. It is a modified 3-Glyceryl Ascorbate with an attached alkyl (Lauryl or dodecyloxy; C12) group to glyceryl group. It is also known under the trade name Amitose 3LGA.
Besides its exceptional skin-moisturizing and melanin inhibitory effects typical of vitamin C derivatives, 3-Laurylglyceryl Ascorbate activates ceramide production and enhances the intracellular antioxidant system, replenishing and reinforcing skin's barrier function.
Novel studies showed that topical application of 3-Laurylglyceryl Ascorbate regulates Interleukin-1α, NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), and MMP-9 (Metalloprotease-9), preventing the development of sensitive skin in dry skin conditions.
