Application
Ascorbic Acid Glucoside (AA2G) is a stable derivative of Vitamin C, mainly applied in cosmetics and skincare products, with a small amount used in functional foods.
1
Cosmetics & Skincare (Main Application): It inhibits tyrosinase to reduce melanin production, brighten skin tone, fade dark spots, acne marks and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It also scavenges free radicals, resists photoaging, promotes collagen synthesis, improves skin elasticity, refines pores and controls oil, suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. It is widely added to whitening serums, creams, masks, sunscreens and men's oil-control products.
2
Other Applications: As a stable Vitamin C, it is used in functional drinks, tablets, solid beverages and oral beauty products (such as whitening pills, collagen drinks), with better stability than ordinary Vitamin C.
More stable than ordinary Vitamin C Non-irritating Good transdermal absorption Non-photosensitive Suitable for daytime use

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ascorbic Acid Glucoside (AA2G)?
Ascorbic Acid Glucoside (AA2G) is a stable glycoside derivative of Vitamin C, formed by bonding glucose to ascorbic acid. It offers superior stability compared to regular Vitamin C while delivering the same core benefits in cosmetic and food applications.
What are the main benefits of AA2G in skincare?
AA2G inhibits tyrosinase activity to reduce melanin production, brightens skin tone, fades dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, scavenges free radicals, resists photoaging, promotes collagen synthesis, improves skin elasticity, and helps refine pores and control oil.
Is AA2G suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. AA2G is non-irritating and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its gentle profile makes it a preferred alternative to regular Vitamin C, which can sometimes cause irritation or redness.
Can AA2G be used in daytime skincare products?
Absolutely. Unlike some Vitamin C derivatives, AA2G is non-photosensitive, meaning it does not increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. It can be safely incorporated into daytime serums, creams, and sunscreen formulations.
What is the recommended storage condition for AA2G?
AA2G should be stored in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry place to maintain its stability and quality. Avoid exposure to high temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight.
What is the standard packaging specification for AA2G?
AA2G is packaged in 20 kg per carton, suitable for industrial and commercial-scale cosmetic and food manufacturing. Custom packaging arrangements may be available upon request.
