Insufficient Data / FRAGRANCE, HUMECTANT, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Sodium Palmitoyl Ascorbyl Glucoside is a complex derivative containing ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), a palmitoyl fatty acid, and a glucose molecule. It is primarily recognized for its multifaceted roles in cosmetic formulations, functioning as a humectant, fragrance agent, and surfactant.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient, as a Vitamin C derivative, contributes to a product's formulation stability and sensory profile. It operates by attracting and retaining moisture on the skin (humectant action), enhancing the product's scent (fragrance), and facilitating the even dispersion of oil and water components (emulsifying and cleansing surfactant properties). The specific mechanism regarding its potential delivery or conversion to active Vitamin C in the skin is not detailed in the available research.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed the safety of Sodium Palmitoyl Ascorbyl Glucoside. While related compounds such as Ascorbyl Glucoside and Sodium Ascorbyl Glucoside have undergone review, the palmitoyl-modified variant lacks a dedicated safety profile. The CIR noted that Sodium Ascorbyl Glucoside was not reported to be widely used in cosmetic products at the time of their 2019-2020 review. Should this ingredient be utilized, its application categories and concentrations are expected to align with those established for Ascorbyl Glucoside.
