Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate water soluble vitamin C derivative for cosmetic formulations
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable derivative of vitamin C designed for use in aqueous cosmetic systems. The molecule belongs to phosphate derivatives of ascorbic acid and contains an aminopropyl group that enhances compatibility with water based environments. The material appears as a fine powder with white to light cream color and neutral odor.
The powder dissolves well in water and water glycol solutions which allows easy incorporation into aqueous cosmetic systems. Due to its stability the ingredient can be used in a wide range of formulations including gels, serums, lotions and emulsions. Powder format supports convenient storage and accurate dosing during formulation development.
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate integrates easily into the aqueous phase of formulations and is compatible with botanical extracts, amino acids and moisturizing ingredients.
Properties and skin performance
Within cosmetic formulations the ingredient distributes evenly throughout the aqueous phase and maintains lightweight product texture. Finished formulations show smooth consistency and soft sensory characteristics.
Products containing the ingredient spread easily across the skin and create clean cosmetic finish. The ingredient is commonly used in formulations designed to support fresh looking skin appearance.
Industry applications
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is used in facial serums, creams, lotions and gel based cosmetic systems. The ingredient is applied in skincare formulations, functional cosmetic lines and professional cosmetic products.
In formulation practice the powder is dissolved in the aqueous phase during preparation of the formulation. It is commonly used in water based serums, gels and emulsion systems.
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is widely used in formulation laboratories, private label development and contract cosmetic manufacturing where ingredient stability and reproducibility are required for scalable production.
Formula example
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate 5 g
Purified water 450 ml
Glycerin 70 g
Propanediol 50 g
Carbomer 940 7 g
Niacinamide 35 g
Green tea extract 30 g
Carbomer is dispersed in purified water until a gel base forms. Glycerin and propanediol are then incorporated with continuous mixing. Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is dissolved in a small amount of warm water and introduced into the gel system. Niacinamide and green tea extract are added afterwards. The pH of the formulation is adjusted to a stable range resulting in a smooth serum gel texture.
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is widely used in professional cosmetic formulation and industrial manufacturing. The ingredient supports stable formulation performance and enables reproducible scalable production.
