What is the difference between sodium ascorbyl phosphate and L-ascorbic acid?
Both compounds are vitamin C. L-ascorbic acid is the purest form of vitamin C and is very effective but can be very unstable. It oxidizes when exposed to heat or sunlight and sometimes causes irritation in the skin. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) is a derivative of L-ascorbic acid and is much more stable, and in return gentler on your skin. Because of its stability, it is more effective on your skin. Studies have shown SAP is also a great acne fighting agent.
What is the concentration of Vitamin C in the Elite Glow Serum?
We use 5% of sodium ascorbyl phosphate in our Elite Glow Serum. Keep in mind, the percentage for effectiveness is different for various forms of vitamin C, and therefore cannot be compared just on a percentage basis. The effectiveness our serum would be equivalent to a 10-15% L-ascorbic acid serum.
