Cosmate®MAP,Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate,MAP, Magnesium L-Ascorbic Acid-2-Phosphate, Vitamin C Magnesium Phosphate,is a salt form of Vitamin C that is used in skincare products for its ability to protect the skin from free radicals, stimulate collagen production, reduce hyperpigmentation, and maintain skin hydration. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is considered to be a stable and effective antioxidant for the skin and usually comes in concentrations around 5%.
