Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Ascorbyl Glucoside, also known as Ascorbyl Glucoside or Vitamin C Glycoside is a derivative of vitamin C. It is a stable and water-soluble form of vitamin C that is gradually converted into pure vitamin C in the body. As such, Ascorbyl Glucoside is able to provide the same benefits as pure vitamin C, but without the worry of its rapid oxidation. This unique property is what makes Ascorbyl Glucoside so popular in the cosmetic industry, but also in the food and healthcare industries.

In the cosmetic and dermatological industry, Ascorbyl Glucoside is mainly used for its antioxidant properties, which help protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals. This ingredient is also able to stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin elasticity and skin rejuvenation. For this reason, Ascorbyl Glucoside is commonly found in some facial creams, anti-aging serums, sunscreens and other skin care products. In the food and healthcare industries, Ascorbyl Glucoside is used as a more stable alternative to conventional vitamin C in dietary supplements and multivitamins. Individuals who want to strengthen their immune system or those looking for an effective way to fight premature aging will especially appreciate its presence.
