Natori VACG
Ascorbyl Glucoside
Natori VACG is a derivative of vitamin C. It is more stable and gentler than Vitamin C which can sometimes irritate the skin. Its excellent water solubility allows it to be used with other ingredients in water-based skin products like serums. It has strong light and heat resistance, reducibility, and antioxidant properties. After Ascorbyl Glucoside is converted into Vitamin C within skin cells, it can significantly reduce melanin formation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.
