Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C.  The compound works with enzymes in skin to cleave (split) the ingredient and release pure ascorbic acid. It is also a powerhouse when mixed with other antioxidant filled ingredients such as Avocado Oil and Celery Stem.  It is a protective antioxidant, and has corrective anti-aging effects, helping to reverse visible signs of skin damage. It helps to exfoliate the upper layer of dead skin cells to help clean pores, even skin tone, hydrate and smooth the skin.
