Ascorbate glucoside, also known as VC glucoside, scientific name O-A-D-glucopyranosyl-L-Ascorbicacid (2-O-a-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbicacid, abbreviated as AA-2G), is a derivative of VC, The relative molecular weight is 33chemical book8.27, and the melting point is 158.5 ~ 159.5ºC. Due to the poor stability of VC, easy to be oxidized and other shortcomings, the substitute product of VC is derived, ascorbate glucoside, which can replace VC as acid agent, reducing agent, antioxidant, bleach and stabilizer, and is widely used in cosmetics, food and medicine and other fields.
1. Brightening skin tone inhibits the formation of melanin After the conversion of ascorbate glucoside into vitamin C into skin cells, it can significantly reduce the formation of melanin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase. Inhibition of tyrosinase reduces dopa quinone, an intermediate in the synthesis of melanin. An added benefit is that it also converts dodoquinone into levodopa Chemicalbook, relieving the formed melanin and thereby reducing skin pigmentation.
2. Resist UV damage Inhibit UV radiation damage to cells after the conversion of ascorbate glucoside into vitamin C, it can greatly reduce the free radicals generated by ultraviolet radiation in the skin, significantly reduce skin damage, and play a role in protecting the skin in sunscreen products.
