Yes, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C SAP, e.q. Stay C50) is available. It is a highly stable, water-soluble form of Vitamin C.

Key Properties and Usage:

  • It is alkaline, with a pH range of 8-11.
  • Formulas using SAP should have a pH between 7-9 for optimal stability.
  • It is recommended to include 0.05% Disodium EDTA in the formula to help with stability against metal ions.
  • It is primarily used in whitening products to brighten the skin.
  • Mixing method: Dissolve in water. Avoid heating above 60°C.
  • Recommended usage rate: 0.5-10% (3% is recommended).

This form of Vitamin C is similar in whitening effectiveness to Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP).
