Product Advantages
- Superior Stability: Remains stable in water-based formulations, resistant to oxidation from light, heat, and air exposure.
- Enhanced Penetration: The ethyl ether structure provides excellent lipophilicity, enabling deeper penetration into skin layers.
- Immediate Bioavailability: No enzymatic conversion required. Acts directly on skin without needing to break down into L-ascorbic acid, ensuring immediate antioxidant action and consistent results.
- Wide pH Compatibility: Functions effectively across a broad pH range (3.0-7.0), allowing flexible formulation options.
- Skin Brightening Power: Inhibits melanin production through tyrosinase suppression. Visibly reduces dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone for a radiant, luminous complexion.
- Collagen Synthesis: Stimulates fibroblast activity and promotes collagen production. Improves skin elasticity, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances overall skin firmness.
- Antioxidant Protection: Neutralizes free radicals and protects against environmental damage from UV radiation, pollution, and oxidative stress. Prevents premature aging and cellular damage.
- Gentle & Non-Irritating: Suitable for sensitive skin types. Lower irritation potential compared to L-ascorbic acid while maintaining powerful anti-aging benefits. No stinging or redness.

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid Applications
- 3-O-Ethylascorbic acid is a highly stable and effective derivative of vitamin C, widely used in skincare for its brightening, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. Unlike traditional ascorbic acid, it is oil-soluble and resistant to oxidation, making it more stable in formulations and ensuring longer shelf life.
- In cosmetics, it is primarily used to reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone by inhibiting melanin production. It also boosts collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines. Its antioxidant properties help neutralize free radicals, protecting the skin from environmental damage like UV radiation and pollution.
- Due to its gentle nature and enhanced skin penetration, it is suitable for sensitive skin and can be incorporated into serums, creams, and toners. Additionally, it works well with other active ingredients like hyaluronic acid and retinoids, making it a versatile choice in anti-aging and brightening skincare routines. Its effectiveness and stability have made it a popular alternative to traditional vitamin C in dermatological and cosmetic products.
