Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate water soluble vitamin C derivative for aqueous cosmetic formulations
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stabilized derivative of vitamin C designed for use in aqueous cosmetic formulations. The molecule belongs to phosphate derivatives of ascorbic acid and includes an aminopropyl group that enhances formulation stability and compatibility with water based systems.
The ingredient appears as a fine powder with white to light cream color. It dissolves readily in water producing clear or slightly opalescent solutions. The ingredient also shows good compatibility in water glycol systems which allows flexible use in serums, lotions and gels.
Powder format allows convenient storage and precise dosing during formulation development. The ingredient is compatible with moisturizing agents, amino acids, botanical extracts and other cosmetic ingredients.
Properties and skin appearance
In cosmetic formulations the ingredient distributes evenly in the aqueous phase and maintains smooth lightweight texture. Finished formulations show uniform consistency and soft sensory profile.
Products containing the ingredient spread easily on the skin surface and create clean cosmetic finish.
Industry applications
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is used in water based serums, gels, creams and lotion systems. The ingredient is incorporated into skincare formulations and professional cosmetic products.
In formulation practice the powder is dissolved in the aqueous phase during preparation of the base formulation. Due to its stability the ingredient can be used in a wide range of cosmetic systems.
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is widely used in formulation laboratories, private label development and contract cosmetic manufacturing.
Formula example
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate 7 g
Purified water 470 ml
Glycerin 80 g
Propylene glycol 50 g
Sodium hyaluronate 3 g
Chamomile extract 35 g
Allantoin 6 g
Sodium hyaluronate is dispersed in purified water until a light gel structure forms. Glycerin and propylene glycol are then incorporated while mixing. Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is dissolved in a small portion of warm water and added into the aqueous phase. Allantoin and chamomile extract are introduced afterwards and the mixture is stirred until uniform texture is achieved. The pH of the formulation is adjusted to obtain stable serum structure.
Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate is widely used in professional cosmetic formulation and industrial manufacturing where stable ingredients support reproducible scalable production.
