Features: It has non-reductive activity; it is not easy to be oxidized and is especially stable in aqueous solution;

Good light and heat resistance; it is difficult to decompose under the condition of long-term high temperature heating;

Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside (AA2G) entering the cell is hydrolyzed by OL-glucosidase to form VC and glucose. It has the same reductive and antioxidant properties of vitamin C, and provides VC continuously for the skin.
Benefits: Whitening skin - After Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside (AA2G) enters skin cell body, it turns into vitamin C by the enzyme hydrolysis. It can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, and significantly reduce melanin formation. Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside can also take advantage of reducibility of vitamin C to directly excrete the melanin that has already formed on the surface of the skin. That is to say it will accelerate the reverse reduction of the melanin that has formed to the original state. Therefore, Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside has an efficient whitening function; and its whitening effect is more obvious and faster than other additives.

Anti-aging - Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside that enters the cell will be hydrolyzed continuously to produce vitamin C. And vitamin C can promote the synthesis of collagen. So AA2G can quicken the metabolism of skin tissue, prevent the skin freckles, and increase skin elasticity. At the same time, vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant, which can remove free radicals in the body and delay skin aging. Therefore, AA2G has anti-aging function. Adding it in cosmetics can remove wrinkles.
