ActiBiso™ VCG (Ascorbyl Glucoside)

ActiBiso™ VCG is a derivative of vitamin C recognized for its brightening and anti-aging properties, making it a crucial component in cosmetic whitening products. It improves skin tone, offers protection against UV damage, and stimulates collagen production, promoting overall skin health and appearance.

Key Benefits and Features:

1. Skin Brightening and Melanin Inhibition:Once converted to vitamin C in skin cells, ActiBiso™ VCG effectively inhibits tyrosinase activity, resulting in a marked decrease in melanin production. It also aids in converting dopaquinone to L-Dopa, helping to reduce existing pigmentation and improve skin tone.

2. Protection from UV Damage: Following its conversion to vitamin C, it significantly mitigates free radicals produced by UV exposure, protecting skin cells from harm, making it a vital ingredient in sunscreen formulations.

3. Anti-Aging Effects: ActiBiso™ VCG stimulates collagen synthesis in fibroblasts, enhancing skin texture, minimizing wrinkles, and increasing overall firmness, yielding noticeable anti-aging benefits.

4. Stability and Effectiveness: As a stable form of vitamin C, it maintains its efficacy in cosmetic formulations, preserving its beneficial properties over time.

5. Improved Skin Absorption:Its water-soluble nature facilitates better penetration into the skin, optimizing the delivery of vitamin C’s benefits directly to skin cells.

6. Hydrating Properties: Beyond its brightening and anti-aging effects, ActiBiso™ VCG helps enhance skin hydration, contributing to a more supple and vibrant complexion.
