A water-soluble vitamin C derivative.
What it is
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is the magnesium salt of ascorbyl phosphate, a phosphate ester of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It is more stable in formulas than pure ascorbic acid. CosIng lists it as an antioxidant and skin conditioning agent.
Where it is used
Found in serums, creams, toners and masks, often in products built around vitamin C.
Limits of interpretation
The INCI list shows which ingredients are present, not how much of each. Above 1%, ingredients are listed in descending order of weight; below 1% the order is free.
It is a derivative, not ascorbic acid itself, and the label does not show how much is used.
