Ascorbyl Glucoside - Vitamin C (English version)
Ascorbyl Glucoside – Stabilized Vitamin C for radiant skin
Ascorbyl Glucoside is a highly effective form of vitamin C that is also suitable for sensitive skin. Ascorbyl Glucoside protects against light-induced skin aging, gives a natural glow, and smoothes the skin.
Introduction / Brief description
Ascorbyl Glucoside is a highly effective, stable form of vitamin C consisting of ascorbic acid and glucose. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, which can irritate sensitive skin, Ascorbyl Glucoside is particularly gentle and effective – even on sensitive skin. In natural cosmetics, it delivers long-lasting, safe antioxidant, skin-smoothing, and brightening effects.
Origin & Production
Ascorbyl Glucoside is created by combining natural vitamin C (ascorbic acid) with glucose – usually produced through biotechnology. This combination makes the molecule more stable against oxygen, light, and heat. Only upon contact with the skin's own enzymes is it converted into active vitamin C – right where it's needed: in the skin.
Effect in facial care
Antioxidant cell protection - prevents light-induced skin aging
As a powerful antioxidant, ascorbyl glucoside neutralizes free radicals and has been proven to protect skin cells from oxidative stress caused by UVA and UVB radiation, air pollution or blue light.
Collagen formation
Vitamin C is essential for the formation of collagen—the structural protein that gives skin firmness. Ascorbyl Glucoside supports the skin's production of new collagen and elastic fibers, thus preventing age-related loss of elasticity.
Lightening of pigment spots
Ascorbyl Glucoside inhibits the overproduction of melanin and can thus visibly reduce hyperpigmentation such as age spots, acne scars or light-induced pigmentation – especially in combination with niacinamide (vitamin B3).
Natural glow and refined skin texture
Vitamin C-Ascorbyl Glucoside gives a natural glow, smoothes the skin texture and soothes irritations.
Use in natural cosmetics
Ascorbyl Glucoside is particularly popular in:
- Day care with antioxidant effect
- Facial serums to lighten pigmentation disorders
- Slow-aging creams to reduce wrinkles
- Care for sensitive skin that cannot tolerate pure vitamin C
- Combined vitamin C serums with niacinamide for the targeted treatment of acne scars and uneven complexion
Special features / Who is it suitable for?
- ✔ Suitable for all skin types – even sensitive, irritated or reactive skin
- ✔ Ideal for first wrinkles, pale complexion, pigment spots or acne scars
- ✔ Can be combined very well with niacinamide (vitamin B3)
- ✔ Stable and oxidation-resistant – prevents light-induced skin aging
- ✔ Free from irritating ingredients such as alcohol or fragrances
Conclusion
Ascorbyl Glucoside, a gentle alternative to pure ascorbic acid, offers all the benefits of vitamin C—antioxidant protection against photoaging, lightening of dark spots, and collagen stimulation—without the typical side effects of synthetic vitamin C/pure ascorbic acid. Perfect for sensitive skin types that often react with irritation to ascorbic acid products.
