Description

What is Ascorbyl Glucoside?
YLAA2G is the product code for Ascorbyl Glucoside (CAS 129499-78-1), a highly stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. It is composed of L-ascorbic acid and glucose. Once applied to the skin, it is gradually broken down by enzymes to release pure Vitamin C. This slow-release mechanism ensures high stability and minimizes irritation. This premium ingredient specifically targets melanin production and tyrosinase activity while soothing the skin and helping to fade post-acne marks.

Key Benefits

• Inhibits Melanin & Tyrosinase: Effectively blocks the activity of tyrosinase, the key enzyme responsible for melanin production, leading to brighter skin tone and reduced hyperpigmentation.

• Fades Post-Acne Marks: Clinically helps to fade stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, such as dark marks left behind by acne.

• Soothes the Skin: Provides a gentle, calming effect on the skin, making it highly suitable for sensitive skin types or compromised skin barriers.

• High Stability & Slow Release: Extremely stable in cosmetic formulations. It releases Vitamin C slowly into the skin, maximizing efficacy while significantly reducing the risk of irritation.

• Water-Soluble: Easy to incorporate into water-based serums, essences, and lotions.

FAQ
Q: What is the recommended usage rate for YLAA2G?
A: The suggested addition rate for this ingredient is between 0.3% and 5%, making it versatile for various brightening and soothing skincare formulations.

Q: How does Ascorbyl Glucoside work compared to regular Vitamin C?
A: Unlike pure L-Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside is a derivative. It is much more stable and does not oxidize easily. Once absorbed into the skin, enzymes convert it into pure Vitamin C, providing a slow-release, gentle, and effective brightening action.
