3-O-ETHYLASCORBICACID with Cas 86404-04-8
What is 3-O-ETHYLASCORBICACID?
3-O-Ethyl-L-ascorbic acid is a very useful vitamin C derivative. It is a stable, water-soluble derivative of vitamin C, offering superior skin benefits. It effectively brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation, and boosts collagen production for anti-aging effects. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, it is highly stable against oxidation, ensuring long shelf life and better penetration into the skin. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin, making it a preferred ingredient in cosmetic formulations for even-toned, radiant skin.
3-O-ETHYLASCORBICACID is a very useful vitamin C derivative. It is not only chemically stable and non color changing, but also a lipophilic and hydrophilic amphoteric substance, which greatly expands its application range, especially in daily chemical applications. 3-O-ethyl ascorbate ether can easily enter the dermis layer through the stratum corneum, and upon entering the body, it is easily broken down by biological enzymes to exert the biological effects of vitamin C.
Efficacy
- Inhibit tyrosinase activity, inhibit the formation of melanin, reduce melanin to colorless, efficiently remove spots and whiten the skin, improve dull and dull skin, and give the skin elasticity.
- has excellent antioxidant effects in cosmetics, ensuring the utilization of vitamin C. Compared to the vitamin C prototype, vitamin C ethyl ether is very stable and not easily discolored.
- Strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, resistant to inflammation caused by sunlight.
- After entering the dermis layer, 4-dimensional C-ethyl ether directly participates in the synthesis of collagen and repairs the activity of skin cells, increasing collagen and making the skin full, elastic, and smooth.
- has a lipophilic and hydrophilic structure, which is easy to absorb by the skin and can directly reach the dermis layer.
- Good stability, resistant to light, heat, acid, alkali, salt, and air oxidation.

3-O-ETHYLASCORBICACID 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.
